Your novel was explicitly unmemorable Adj. 1. unmemorable - not worth remembering forgettable - easily forgotten . Have you ever started reading a novel and had that feeling, 'I think I have read this book?' I was beyond page 60 when I rediscovered familiar territory. At page 120 I checked my file of book reviews. There was no review for The Guardian. After page 200 I wondered, how could I read a novel and not remember it? At page 260, on the beach at novel's end, I suddenly remembered the ending when the stalker tries to kidnap the heroine and her guardian (the Great Dane Great Dane, breed of very large, powerful working dog developed in Europe more than 400 years ago. It may stand as high as 36 in. (91.4 cm) at the shoulder and weigh up to 150 lb (68.1 kg). ) attacks the stalker despite being immobilized by rat poison. The dog dies. Then I knew I read The Guardian, once. Sorry, Mr. Sparks! After reading your novel a second time I found it to be uncommonly insipid. Don't ask for a recommendation.
