Thanks for the great review. I was surprised after the way you described it that you rounded up tour rating instead of down. Not sure how this one made it to book of the day, but thanks to your great review of it, I'm staying well clear. Thanks again.

I too have read book with loads of characters in it. The difference being, they were all important. I wonder if it makes it easier to read if they are unimportant to the story?

Am disappointed about how the book turned out. According to your review the book didn't deliver what it promised and for people who reads books based on their summary the book is not worth it. Nice review

Doesn't sound like my kind off book. I might still give it a try. Thanks for your insightful review.

Excellent and detailed review. I can see where it would be easy to get hyped up about the novel only to find it more relaxed. I struggle sometimes to finish books like that. Thank you for sharing.

I don't have an easy time reading books where there are so many characters to keep track of because I spend more time than I should by stopping to look people up. I should already know who these characters are...the time I spend looking them up makes me forget about what's even going on in the book, and the entire "looking up" process begins again, but instead of looking up characters, this time it's the plot. If I've confused you, then you have an understanding of how I feel when reading books of this nature. Still, I have downloaded my copy in hopes that the author makes some changes to the text. If this happens, I will get the updated version from Amazon for free because I already own it. Thank you for your review!

Seems like a very interesting but complicated boom to read. I like how you described each of the characters in the story.

Thanks for a very informative review!

Wow it sounds like there's a lot going on in this book but then not a lot as you say in your review. :P since it is free for today I will check it out but I don't know if I'll end up reading the whole book. Great job on your review!

That two of the main characters aren't memorable by name for the reviewer doesn't bode well. Combined with the marketing fluff, this one doesn't sound like it would interest me. Thanks anyway for the review.

The book's title is captivating but then after reading this review, I think if the content won't reach my expectation then I think I will just look for another book to read.:-)

Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare

Post by Silvermoon »

Wow! What an exceptionally informative and thorough review. I can relate to the disappointment with inconsistencies of what the story promises and what is delivered. It sounds as if the characters needed fleshing out and the structure needed some work. I get so frustrated when the story builds to a great climax and then falls flat because the author didn't follow through. This is what agents and editors are for! To bring the best out of an interesting story and remove the subpar work.
Thanks for the review!
