Redefining the Beach Read
By
Lynn Rosen
As for the structure, the book has the kind of chopped up timeline that seems to be becoming something of a literary sub-genre, having perhaps been launched most prominently with "The Time Traveler's Wife." As Rudy says, this style is " less jarring to readers now. Ten years ago a book like this would have been deemed really experimental. Now readers are more used to it." As Janet Maslin says in her review in The New York Times: "Had Ms. Netzer approached her material in a more linear fashion, she would have run into credibility problems. But . . . "Shine Shine Shine" skips through time in nicely unpredictable fashion."
