Rated of 5
by Sam
Just as many people have said... this book wasn't as much disappointing, but rather lacking suspense. There were some parts which capture the reader's attention, but I would have to say that I was fairly disappointed in the ending. I wouldn't recommend this novel unless you like to read into detail about a woman's sex life and like to be bedazzled by an ending.

Sue C I, too, found this book vastly disappointing. I was willing to suspend disbelief for the first two thirds, where I was pulled along by interesting writing and two characters -- Kathy and Behrani -- whose emotional situations, if not their legal status, were relatively believable. But in the final third, the plot spun out of control to bring the book to a totally surreal end. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Susan I fought my way through this book from the beginning. After Oprah and several critics gave this novel such high acclaim, I was determined to stick with it until I found the pleasure I had been promised. It never came. I was unable to develop any concern or affection for any of the main characters. The time bomb that ticked away with each turning of the page was something I almost wished would explode so that I could be finished with this disappointing read. I would also like to say that I disagree with the critics who describe this novel as 'believable'.
