what you see is not always what you get

Like Gone Girl, this book has two very different halves, the first of which is the husbands perspective, and the second half is the wifes.  The husband is Lotto, a tall, charismatic man with a bad complexion and a very wealthy mother.  The wife is Mathilde, who is smart and striking in appearance.  They marry young, and Lottos buddy Chollie is convinced that the marriage will be short-lived.  Initially, Lotto struggles to make a living as an actor in New York but then finds that he has talent as a playwright.  Mathilde becomes his business manager, and in the second half we find that she is really much more than that.  The first half of the book, Lottos half, did not hold my interest at all.  Lotto is just a big lap dog with creativity of genius proportions. The second half, in which Mathilde is revealed to be quite multi-dimensional, is much more lively.  Were not quite sure if shes evil or merely opportunistic or justifiably vengeful or perhaps even a long-suffering martyr, but certainly her early life is more colorful, although not necessarily in a good way, than his.  However, the second half skips back and forth in time, seemingly more so than the first half, and I found the zigzagging timeline disconcerting and annoying, as I tried to determine what had already happened and what was still yet to come at any given point in the narrative.  The first half of the book certainly sets the stage for the second half, but I thought that the first half could have been shorter, so that the author could spend more time filling in the blanks with the contributions that Mathilde makes to the marriage and to Lottos career.

It wasn't what I expected, but someone else may enjoy it.

Although the product is nice I was a little upset on how they kind of deceive you. I thought I was going to get two since they had two in the picture nor did they let me decide which one I was going to get. Without getting to decide, I guess that's what made me believe I was going to get the two pictured. Kind of frustrating

THE  PICTURE  IS NOT WHAT YOU GET OR WHAT  WE EXPECTED COLOR IS NOT THE SAME AND THE QUALITY IS  NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE

My print and copy shop had used the style of label shown in the picture for a long while. We were pleased to see they were available and less expensive than elsewhere. Well, buyer beware, you do get the amount you order but they aren't what you see in the picture. Those pictured are a fairly thick and easy to remove from the backing label. What you get are very thin and don't peel off the backing very easily. Sure we paid less but would have paid a bit more if we knew this was a different product than displayed.

The pictures do not reflect what you are getting. I needed them sent to me ASAP for a trip, but these were not the ones I wanted from the photo.

Neat book not quite what I expected in some ways more than I expected.

The product works, however the Photo can be misleading. You may believe that you are purchasing two bottles, but you are not. Perhaps a disclaimer or an elaboration on the quantity, placed in the product's description

Good, but it may make up the display for the truth, but a great experience and you need a bit of adjustment

Thank you

Complexities of plural marriages are brought to light. Another reminder that things are not always what they appear to be

very mixed amount of the variety of colors you can get, some are more than other, don't expect equal amounts of all of the colors shown

the fit is fine, but what I am very disappointed in is the picture you see is not what you get....I wanted the colors shown and got a mish-mash of colors and designs I don't like.  Why can't you get what is advertised?

The product I received does not look exactly like the image, also appears to be used or factory rejected items.

It is not as high quality you can say, as the pictures show

Be very careful when purchasing this item that you know what you're getting because the pack that arrives is NOT the main pack that is pictured.  At first glance, you think you're getting the gift pack with the panda and the others....that's the main photo for the listing, and the individual photos show the cars from that pack.  However, the last photo shows a gift set that is completely different, and THAT is what ships.

While there isn't necessarily anything wrong with those cars that DO come, they were the ones that my nephew already had, and they were NOT the ones we were led to believe were going to come, based on the listing.  The advertisement of this gift set is somewhat shady, since that's the last picture of the whole bunch.

Like I said, the product itself is ok - standard toy cars - but they are NOT as pictured and that's extremely disappointing.

The picture is miss leading and implies that you are getting more than what you actually receive. I got a tiny Ziploc baggy with little gems in it which is still a good amount for the price but not what the picture lead me to believe.
