Book Reviews of The Body Is Water

Book Review: Average read - very disappointing ending
Summary: 2 Stars

I read this book thinking it would be a great story. First of all, Jane's character is just not likeable - especially considering her lack of feelings for her unborn child. She seemed to have no real purpose and was boring. Bee was interesting you could say, but she wasn't any more likeable. What was with the Dad coming into Jane's room and telling her lies? I did not grasp that at all. The only characters I found somewhat interesting were the Dad and Mr. Denzer. This book started off okay for me, but quickly got boring and seemed to have no purpose. The ending was so awful that I just laughed. It would have been nice to know if Jane had ever bonded with her baby, or what she had done with it. Oh well, just my opinion. I think the story had potential, but was just kind of washed out.
