Gone

Janie is very depressed.  This is understandable, considering the events of the book, along with the events of the previous books.  However, it starts out with a vacation scene, where she is getting away from it all, and she's depressed at the slightest things there, too.  For example, when she falls in while water-skiing, she's scared for her life, disgusted with the water, and mad at everybody for making light of it.  The small incident is given as much detail as if she was crashing a plane instead of some water-skis.  Throughout the rest of the book, she tends to be over-the-top unhappy, and though this is sometimes justified, she snaps out at Cabel for no reason every other page.  She also developed a new habit: thinking in circles.  Not just a few circles.  I would expect a tough choice to take up a few pages, maybe even a whole chapter.  People do go over things multiple times when making a hard decision.  Her choice to either isolate herself or stay with Cabel, however, appears to take up more words than the actual plot.  The entire book could easily have fit into fifty or so pages, and seemed to be filled up mostly with whining and her having the same debate with herself over and over again.
