mercury by Margot Livesey
I deliberately entered my review with this summary clearly displayed in the next paragraph below. Because scrutinizing the writers way of telling how a story plot is done. Must be seen clearly as i will go through each paragraph with open eyes.
Donald believes he knows all there is to know about seeing. An optician in suburban Boston, he rests assured that he and his wife, Viv, who works at the local stables, will live out quiet lives with their two children. Then Mercury - a gorgeous young racehorse - enters their lives and everything changes.
For me the the writer went on to explain the different stages of Donald life. From his school days and how he got to meet his current wife Viv. The writer also went on about the moving of his parent and the way had developed between them. Interesting to say but I never got much romantic idea from the writer.
Some words use by the writer was unnecessary as most people would not know most of there meaning.
To be honest this book was kind of boring. I never really get much excitement out of it. Maybe it was because most of the story narration was based on irrelevant logics. They maybe too much emphases place on places, the children and his parents. Honesty my ratings will be low. But a good read for individuals who just want to read a book.
