Book Review: (Revised) This is Bad...
Summary: 2 Stars
You ever listened to one of those audio books that is so bad, yet you have find out how it ends? This is it. Maybe it's because I haven't listened to the other books, but the author gives a great recap that I didn't have to worry about that. My problem was that the characters were totaly unlikeable and there were tons of inconsistantces. First of all, the characters. I didn't like anyone, though Ruby wasn't too bad. Like parts of the story, some of them get a little inconsistant. At first Fanny is a strong-willed woman and then reverts to a pathetic figure when the plot demands it.
I also think Ms. Michaels wasted Celia. In the early parts, Celia seems like a decent woman who was intriuged by the fact her new husband was rich. I know Michaels was trying to make us hate the character from the start, but the way the supposingly "moral" Throntons treated her at the party made my mother and I feel sorry for her instead and made the family look like a bunch of self-rightous snobs. Then poof, she automatically turns into your run-of-the-mill femme fatale whose been schemeing from the start to destroy the family..
I know that I probably have made a lot of the fans mad, but continue to hear me out. That over, now the inconsistantcies. If this family is so rich, how come they act like they're poor? I'm no expert on rich folks, but I think that a family as wealthy as them wouldn't expect their wives to clean and cook and live in poorly-funished apartments. Also, Thronton Chickens is suppose to be a multi-million dollar business then why does it act like Ruby is doing all the work for what seems like it's described as a small farm. And Celia's baby at the end, I think Michaels was hinting that it was Birg's even though he hadn't touched since she they got back from that jungle.
There's some other things I'd mention, but I don't have the room. Let's just say the only reason this book doesn't fail is becasue of the great recap of everything and you still want to find out how it ends for some weird reason.
