Slate: "Most bad novels reveal their flaws quickly. The writing is usually inelegant, the characters crudely drawn, the dramatic situations clunky, the dialogue stilted....That isn't the case with Alice Hoffman's latest novel, BLUE DIARY. Although it's a genuinely bad book, it doesn't send up these traditional early warning flares. On the contrary, it's clearly the work of an accomplished writer, consistently demonstrating a respectable level of skill....What's lacking throughout is psychological nuance, moral complexity, some willingness to explore and dramatize the situation Hoffman has herself created." |
