- Latest Review: Epicenter by Carrie Hannah
As for me, I didn't have the same feeling; I think the descriptions made the story more realistic. Describing the scene of the accident helped answer most of my questions. I think I didn't find them any destructive.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 01:00 The author has gone too far, as per my opinion, describing the background details when he took the reader to a new scenario. A few examples are the descriptions about the road in the scenario of Gary's nearly missed accident, the details about the campus cafeteria when Sinead took Gary to meet her boyfriend, the details about the train station when Gary went to London to get his girlfriend and the details about the local pub that Gary and Michelle had dinner.
Do you feel the same as me? Could it have been better if the details were a bit less? Did you find it distracting or did you prefer it the way it was?
