I tend to agree with Fran on this one. And life is way too shortfor mediocre books.Fran wrote:I'm sorry but Thin Places did nothing for me. The story is predictable & trite and the characters shallow,superficial and incredibly stereotypical. Given the title I expected a darker more suspenseful tale instead I got a very conventional boy meets girl trying to masquerade as a thriller.
All I can say in it's favour is that it's short so at least I didn't waste much of my reading time on it. The only surprise for me was that it didn't close with "and they all lived happily ever after".
Sorry but no, I certainly would not recommend it.

I am way too picky when deciding which books to read, especially given the variety so its always good to know what others think.
