End of Journey

This long , rambling story finally ran its course, after being told in a quick, breathless way. The charming, lying, immature, selfish Jake is only topped by the manipulative, dishonest, unscrupulous Madelaine, who should have been fired from her job and then put in prison for stealing mail and lying unconscionably about it.

A good but uneventful story.

I enjoyed this story but it wasn’t a book that you couldn’t put down. It was the everyday story of a family.
