Review by Faithmwangi -- The Spirit of Want

[mary-annef]

I have read this book and I thought the relationship was rushed as well. One moment the Reverend is being sexist and rude to her, the next moment there is news of their affair in newspapers. It didn't make sense. Your review is brilliant, well done.

Thanks for clarifying this part @Michelle Fred. And thanks for the excellent review @Faithmwangi, I think i'll give this one a skip.

This sounds like an interesting book with mostly good characterization. I think it is one that I would enjoy. Thanks for the warning, though, about the missing buildup of Lucy's relationship with Hower. Thanks for the great review!

Although fairy tales aren't the only books with happy plotlines, you're right in that I don't care for depressing stories. This one certainly sounds like that. I think I'll skip this one. Thanks for the tip and the well-written review!

I've read this book too. I think it is a story of a spoiled girl. I personally didn't like the character of Lucy. Thanks for the wonderful review!

The aspect of this book that appeals to me the most is how (and why) Lucy decides to take up the priest's case. I have not read this book, but it definitely sounds interesting. Great review!

It is interesting. Once you get to read it let me know what you think. Thanks for commenting.

Sounds like a very engaging read I would give it a try, the characters seem to be very interesting. Thank you for a great review!

Thanks for commenting.

I agree with you that consistent character development is very important, and it's a pity that some of it was missing here. Still, thanks for the insightful review!

It is true, a small omission of information can destroy the flow of the whole book. Thanks for commenting.

The premise sounds interesting. I like novels in which the main character has to grow as a person, so this one should be right up my alley. Thanks for the review!

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for commenting.

Looks like Lucy gets involved in complex situations, both at personal and professional level. I guess it's not a novel easy to read. Thank your for your insightful review!

Oftentimes we are tempted to look at the negative side of people without considering what triggered them to be what they are. I believe there were a lot of insecurities in Lucy's life. Being adopted, probably by your blood father, in a setting in which whites are more preferred to colored people, I think these facts triggered her negative outlook on life. However, this does not justify her doings. Thanks for a wonderful review. I enjoyed reading it.

Interesting plot, and it seems like a good character driven book. Thanks for the review!
