My ratings are usually a gut instinct of how a book left me feeling - and maybe I am sometimes too quick to write my review i.e. I should mull it for a little longer first :)<BR/><BR/>My gut reaction was this: it was depressing - even though she ended up getting out of her situation, she never fought back or stuck up for herself. I didn't come away from it feeling particularly inspired by her, if that makes sense. I think that just left a bad taste in my mouth :)Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741365928762676938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636261725049671888.post-36103181175094831082008-08-26T16:06:00.000-07:002008-08-26T16:06:00.000-07:00I JUST finished this one...LOVED it.
