Feb 18, 2015JCLChrisK rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
2 stars for me plus 1 more for all of the other positive reviews that lead me to conclude I must be the outlier and the target audience will enjoy it. While most others describe the book as hugely funny and Dory as intelligently imaginative, I neither laughed nor developed an appreciation for the character, as much as I tried (though I did appreciate her imagination). I found myself identifying with Dory's parents and siblings in finding her unbearably annoying due to her apparent total lack of consideration for others and inability to respect their perspectives (though it appeared she learned that from the rest of them); I guess I just don't find lack of empathy entertaining.
