Query: She's No Dickens

The disappointment of this book is not the story so much as the writing. The dialogue is at best un-authentic and at worst, well, worse. And the sad thing is that it is oh so clear that the writer is really really trying ..... to be a writer. And that's the beginning of the end. Nothing natural at all about the effort here, it simply fails as literature. A better editor might have been able to coax a sense of style from the material here but I have rarely read a book so highly regarded by so many that provided so few moments of simply good writing. By the beginning of the second chapter it was clear the only thing that had any chance of redeeming this was a great story. Didn't happen.
