I read two new books this week already: "Daughter's Keeper," by Ayelet Waldman, and "The Dive from Clausen's Pier," by Ann Packer, which always reminds me of PM, cuz we watched the made-for-TV movie (it was, wasn't it?) at the same time once.
Daughter's Keeper was dull. Touched on some good topics but didn't explore them enough for me. Also, I didn't really give a shit about the characters - or feel that significant evidence had been given to support the growing bond between mother and daughter. Not to mention, it was very predictable.
Clausen's Pier was okay. I never watched the entire movie, so I didn't know much of what took place after the dive (but then, not sure how much of NY, Kilroy, etc the movie actually delved into). I cared about the characters a little more here, but again, it was fairly predictable and I didn't care for the ending.
The movie was fairly predictable, too. What was the book ending?
