If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.  Good advice for the most part. But what if giving one's opinion may save someone else both money and time?  Then it is okay, in my way of thinking.

I believe I've just answered my own question and justified why I am going to let you know not to waste your money or time on Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.

Janet Martindale used to spend at least 45 minutes to one hour packing and repacking one "care" package to send to her son, Chris, who is stationed in Afghanistan as a Lead Corpsman. That doesn't count the time she spent collecting the items and then getting the box to the post office. But none of that mattered — she was doing this out of love for her son and wanting him to experience a bit of "home" while he served his tour of duty.
