Query: This book deserves a negative rating!

This book is like Stephen King's "Rose Madder", except poorly written and without most of the excitement. The plot is essentially the same, minus the supernatural elements. I cannot imagine how it made any list, let alone Oprah's, unless no one bothered to finish reading it. It was incredibly predictable, and unimaginably dull. It was hard to even finish. The ending was trite and obviously a ploy to inject some life into a story that was dead from about page 2. It was a total waste of my money. I threw it away, as it was not worthy of shelf space.
