Mary Ann finds herself in a meandering story that is as bland as the Midwestern girl herself. She returns from a trip to Paris to find that you can never go home to Kansas again, but you can go back to your virgin roots thanks to a regenerating hymen. Her story does partially redeem itself by talking directly about being stranded on the island. It describes the darkness and hopelessness that would be the much more likely result of being marooned for years.
Gilligan's Wake shares much in common with the show from which it was spawned. The plots are contrived and predictable (if I wanted to read about the castaways having sex, there are plenty of free fan fiction sites on the Net) and the stories are quickly forgotten once they are over. However, you'll laugh along the way and you will feel even more like the characters are friends you've known forever.
