A review by lioness1120
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld

3.0

I couldn't make it through this. I got more than halfway through before I gave up and it was a difficult decision- in that I had no opinion one way or the other. There was nothing truly awful that forced me to quit but I felt weighed down by continuing to read. Too many insignificant details that broke the rhythm of the prose and frankly, I was just plain tired of the protagonist and how she just had no willpower or real characteristics that defined her. She would have faded into the background in real life- not a desirable trait to base a book upon.
