Query: So disappointed

"The Secret Life of Bees" is one of the best books I've ever read. Maybe that's why this book was so disappointing. As other reviewers said, it's the same old plot, same old character(s). Where was the rich imagination and creativity seen in "Bees"? I forced myself to the end, but it was not an enjoyable read. I just kept hoping it would somehow get better---and her writing is beautiful. but not enough to carry this shopworn story. I'm interested to see what her next book will be like.
