Query: A potentially meaningful story made simple, sappy, pitiful

A book written to appeal to an audience of shmucks who have no knowledge of great literature. Perhaps a great reading primer for kindergarteners, minus the sex scene. It made me think, I bet this is the kind of stuff that makes up those grocery store novels with Fabio gracing the covers. Characters so one-dimensional, the movie rights will probably be for a cartoon.
