Review #3- Hell-Heaven
I just put down Jhumpa Lahiri’s Hell-Heaven and I have to admit that I am disappointed. Unlike many of my peers, I do not like her style of writing very much; however, I was willing to give it one more shot. She is skilled at creating vivid characters but unfortunately, most of the characters that she develops are very unlikable. I have noticed this trend from the first time I read her work (The Namesake was my first taste of her writing) and until today it still bothers me. I do not see myself choosing this story for my final essay (101).

That's why I'm glad I gave everyone a choice for this assignment. (Is that the story about the woman who learns that her mother was in love with another man her whole life?)
