What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal: A Novel
by Authors:
Zoe Heller
Hardcover
Average Customer Rating:
Great potential, but poor follow-through
Although the foreward was intriguing, I found it difficult to actually finish the book. As I continued reading, I kept hoping for some type of excitement - but the incessant drone of the narrator made this a perfect need-to-get-sleepy book.
The conclusions that I drew about the main characters in the first quarter of the book were the same as at the end - they evolved very little and very little new information was learned that was beneficial to character development.
Overall, I'm a bit disappointed. For a plot with so much potential (two obsessions intertwined), this book dodged every chance at excitement.
Dangerous Women--Great book!
Zoe Heller's writing is intelligent, witty and compelling. I loved every page of this book! Barbara's character is ALIVE. She is such an interesting narrator for this story. You think the story is going to be about an adult female teacher's affair with an underage male student and suddenly you realize that it's only a subplot. The story is really about Barbara and her dysfunctional relationships...primarily, her relationship with Sheba, the "teacher in trouble". This author seems to have an intimate knowledge of obsessive, unhealthy relationships.
I'm going to have to disagree with the reviews on here
I had trouble finishing this book, and mid-way through, I read a lot of the Amazon reviews about the elegant prose and hilarity and the great perspective of the spinster narrator. Well, I missed out. The spinster narrator was mildly entertaining for the opening of the novel, but then she became very grating, with her droning on and on about the "rules" of teacher friendships and her *special insight* into interpersonal relationships.
The worst part is that, as unlikable as I found the narrator, our two philanderers (the subject of the scandal) were even more boring. Connolly was wimpy and unlikeable. Neither Sheba nor Connolly was a compelling character. Where was the passion, the incentive to risk everything for an affair? Why should the reader care about these people?
My take is that Heller chose an uptight spinster narrator to give her book credence: if this rigid woman can find Sheba likable, shouldn't the reader also be on Sheba's side? I don't take a side, mostly because the story wasn't even convincing to begin with.
Can't find the book you're looking for? Then try Google.
