1.0 out of 5 stars One of the most boring books I've ever read, July 2 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: For Love (Paperback)
This book was so tedious and boring that I found it difficult to believe it was by the same author of "While I Was Gone." I didn't care about any of the characters; all were shallow and one-dimensional. None of them behaved like real people. And nothing happened! I didn't understand why Lottie felt disassociated from her husband, and I didn't understand Elizabeth at all. She was shrill and silly. I understand what the author was trying to say--I think--but it just didn't work. Too dense and wordy--which is fine when an author has something to say--but not when an author writes just for the sake of seeing her own words.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hated most of the characters..., Sep 20 2003

This review is from: For Love (Paperback)
All the characters in this book were shallow, selfish and boring. The writing was good but I could not relate to nor sympathize with any of the characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Miller's Best, Dec 10 2000
By BeachReader (Delaware) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: For Love (Paperback)
While I have liked some of Sue Miller's books ("The Good Mother" and "Inventing the Abbotts"), this one was very unsatisfying to me (as was "While I Was Gone"). I never felt that I knew the characters and because of this, could not understand their motivation. It was as though I was viewing them through a cloudy lens...the characterizatons just never were clear.

I tried to feel sympathy or even empathy for Lottie and Cameron, but could never muster any. They just never really engaged me as a reader.

Also, parts of their history and background seemed to be missing, as if lost in all of the changes of time that Miller used.

I will try "Family Pictures" next.....hope I can get more involved.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm afraid I forced myself to finish this book!
I had a really hard time with this book and I listened to the audio cassettes. It was a very long story about one incident, the wreck, that was drawn out way too long. Read more
