Review of "Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-gazer" on 'Goodreads'

I really hated this book, its only redeeming quality might have been the fun I had bashing it at a book club meeting. It was improbable, contrived and needed some serious editing. I agree with all the morals expressed in the book, but even that sympathy was ruined by the didactic, overly comprehensive presentation of said morals. Yuck. I want the part of my life back that I spent reading this back.
