A: POS
****
Q: Ugh... . I usually like Deaver's stories, but I actually only made it through half of the book...then tossed the thing. I am not crazy about the subject matter when it involves children (even if they are at the teen stage). Should have paid more attention to the info at the back of the book. And I definitely don't need to have obscenities every sentence. My mother always stated that people who swore constantly had nothing of interest to say. I find this to be true, even in my choice of literature. My time on this earth is too short to waste reading this type of material.     So I am a prude...    Karen Sadle

A: NEG
****
Q: Disappointing . A thoroughly self-indulgent narrator abandons her family on a whim and ventures out (on her husband's dime?) to "discover herself" and experience the kinds of things her priviledged, sheltered life never offered her. The novel is nicely crafted, but the character is shallow and cloying--sadly, I think we're supposed to support her. I kept hoping she'd return home to an empty house.

A:
NEG
****
