This book was barely readable. My book club chose it last month from this website. We are 10 women, everyone hated this book. It is difficult to read, it does not have any character development, and it doesn't bring you in at all. You do not get a feel for the characters, the setting, or care what happens. One woman in our group said she hoped they all fell into the ocean about half way through and I couldn't agree more. Some thought when it finally got to the storm it picked up but not for me. It was a tedious, boring, unreadable book. A huge disappointment.
We found the book difficult to read. We had little interest in the characters. On a scale of 1 to 10, our club rated this book 1.
I would not recommend this book - The characters are left undeveloped, the author spends 250 of the 270 pages building up to a storm that is then covered in 10-15 pages and the book ends abruptly. I never felt a connection to any characters. If this had not been a book club selection I would never have read past page 50.
The characters and plot in this book were poorly developed. I never did empathize with the characters. They seemed to have so little interaction with one another, they merely seemed shallow and dysfunctional. I also kept wondering where the plot was going and when I got there, I couldn't believe it took several hundred pages to get there. By and large, our club did not like this book and I would not recommend it.
This book never developed the characters, I sometimes got confused as to who was who because they were all so boring. If ever there was a book to read before bedtime, this would be it. This one will definately put you to sleep.
