I believe the most correct adjective for this novel is “overwritten”. It’s filled with simile and easily has 3 times as many adjectives as any other sort of word. Despite all this description, the characters are flat and cliché, and the style of their romance, where a supposedly intelligent adult woman (who, coincidentally, appears more like a sixteen year old girl) is constantly helpless and stupefied whenever in the presence of the gorgeous, mustachioed man, seems more suited to a historical romance than something that is meant to be contemporary. Though this was probably more acceptable in 1984 when the book was published, I don’t think it will impress today’s readers over the age of thirteen. Sadly, the story is also less than interesting and the resolution of the plot employs a device which has lost its punch over the years as well. ( )
