Query: Dreadful, poorly written with a undeveloped plot. Laughable.

This book is, without a doubt, the worst piece of fiction I have read to date.I realised from the outset that it was going to be a dreadful waste of my time and intelligence. Why then did I read on? Insomnia and no other reading material at hand. I suspect it was my sado-masochistic streak which propelled me to inflict such pain on myself. The characters are bland and poorly developed. I felt no empathy whatsoever for Kathryn and her one-dimensional daughter.The plot was badly woven, the story written in a childish style.Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse Shreve threw in the IRA out of the blue. Just stuck it in there at the end so she could finish up. What an insult to our intelligence. Why did Oprah include this amateur rubbish in her selection? The next time I see that "Oprah" label, I'll run a mile in the opposite direction.
