Query: Don't waste your time.

This book is so bad. I read the first book in the series and felt compelled to continue on with the story. However, the characters in this book were so shallow, lacking any redeeming qualities, I didn't care what happened to any of them. It was very hard to finish, and felt like a huge waste of time. Please save yourself the trouble. If you want to try a John Updike work, I recommend The Witches of Eastwick- (but skip the movie)
