Query: bland

Bland writing, contrite characters, and cliche'd plot line. I thought, if there is going to be such a whirl wind romance, at least make it worth my time. I couldn't care less if they ended up together or not. The whole mermaid chair myth had no point. I was hoping for something diffrent, beautiful even, with the name "The Mermaid's Chair", and all I got was a hardcover book full of nonsense....and stupid people doing stupid things without true objectives....not worth even paperback price.
