Chalk Lake: A Novel Review

I have to begin this review by stating I am a male. That in itself may make this dialogue between myself and the author (also a male), somewhat superfluous. But, I will go ahead with the hope that I can save someone the $14 or so dollars (and the even more precious reading time) you might spend on this book.
The primary flaw in Chalk Lake is the voice of the protagonist. Written by a male, this attempt at portraying a female plays to the worst stereotype of any white, male writer trying to create a main character that is female.
There was never a moment that I was unaware that the author was not a male. The language is saturated with the incorrect gender. Unfortunately, it gets worse...the main character, a female, is painted as being unable to cope with te pressures of today's world. There's not a single ounce of character within her...nothing that a woman could point to and say, "she is interesting to me because..." There is nothing redeeming about this character because she is simply a cartoon version of what a male thinks a female is like.
Makes me kind of embarassed to be of the same gender as the author. Of course, as I said earlier, it is kind of pathetic in the first place for a white male to be attempting to defend the female gender against another white male. But, all that aside, I would sum up by saying that the primary flaw of this book is the way the main character is painted...as a chalk outline of a woman...certainly not a character who is real enough or interesting enough to devote the time it would take you to explore her through this book.
