A review by anniewill
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld

2.0

I found this book to be about 100 pages too long. The amount of detail in the last section was tiresome, to say the least. I also found the main character, Alice, to be a bit too pleased with herself for my taste. And the portrayal of her husband, "Charlie" was cartoon-ish at best. Please. I get that the author does not care for George Bush, but some of the attributes that she assigned to Charlie were ridiculous and totally undermined, to me, what could have been an intriguing and original story.
