    LOSING CLEMENTINE
    The characters in this book were nearly all seriously dysfunctional and in need of far more than a drug, as is true for her, to function. Very black, not a flicker of light in the story. Irresponsible, self centered, and such words come to mind. I have had hard times myself as a child and on and have never acted or thought as these characters do. Takes more than relating such to end up with a good book. However, the act of writing it might have been cathartic for the author, assuming it did relate to her.
  • Mary M. (Lexington, KY)
    Dreary Book
    I really did not like this book. It was depressing and the main character was unlikable. I kept reading because I thought at some point Clementine would do something to help me understand or like her. Even after learning her history I could not understand why she behaved so badly to her family and friends. She was an unsympathetic character from beginning to end. I would not recommend this book to anyone. It was just to dreary.
