Lacks the oomph needed to attract the reader's interest.
I tried (as hard as I could) to read this book, but the first chapter in itself felt emotionless, demented, and dragged on for what seemed like hours. After about the third or fourth chapter I finally just said "Enough!" Frances' voice carries no emotion at all. The other characters as well were emotionless and rather flat. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
