What readers think of The Resurrection of Joan Ashby, plus links to write your own review.

This is not one book it's an amalgamate of seven or eight creative writing assignments! And while there is an interesting discussion of motherhood and some promising character development both suffer from an onslaught of intrusive italics rehashing Ashby's previous literary "triumphs". Far from highlighting her much touted genius they only illustrate that she is barely competent. My agreement to review this book is the singular reason I kept wading through it...certainly NOT the beautiful prose or the consistent pace or the subliminal content and I'm afraid that not even decent editing can "resurrect" Joan Ashby!!
