Her Fearful Symmetry
by Audrey Niffenegger
As many reviewers have already stated, I loved Time Traveler's Wife. I didn't know what to expect from this novel, but I figured I would check out another Niffenegger. She can make a decent story.
Or maybe not.
It had a really interesting idea with the twins (the two main characters, Valentina and Julia) being literally mirror images of each other and the ghost of Elspeth, giving an eerie quality. I liked Robert in the beginning.
Then it got weird. A minute after Valentina made her choice, I knew what was going to happen.
Obviously, I think the author was pushed for another book too soon.
I still think Niffenegger can write a story, but this just wasn't it. A lot of really great ideas that just didn't come together in the right way.
