Query: Melodrama

Another reviewer wrote exactly what I was thinking after reading this novel: "Jerry Springer-meet-E Lynn Harris soap opera". Of course, since the theme of the book -- domestic violence -- is rather serious, you try to give it a chance. But this novel has no redemptive value. Luckily, it is a fast read, especially since you could easily skip every other page without missing much.Just a small example of the sentimental and unbelievable writing:<QUOTE> "If you let me love you, I promise it will be an experience of a lifetime. Books will be written about it. Our love will be legendary, even in faily tales." He knew exactly how to weave a spell strong enough to break the hardest of hearts. <UNQUOTE>Pleeeeese! This is completely stuff of afternoon soap-opera. And the author is not being sarcastic, there is no punch line.
