Disappointed

Very disappointing book. The plot sounded so good but it truly just plodded along. And extremely long!!

Karen T. (Auburn, MA)

Lacked a translation that gave the story justice

I had a lot of trouble getting through this selection. It had a lot of good potential for a great storyline, but the errors/lack of a strong translation took away from it. I don't like giving a poor review, but in this instance I just have no choice.

Losing

I had a difficult time with this book. It was not one that I started reading and couldn't lay down; I had a lot of starts and stops. Personally, I could not recommend this book to my reader's group. There are too many really interesting books out there to waste time on this one.

Just could not get into it

I have picked this book up several times to read it and I have just not been able to get into it. I've read about 50 pages, which isn't much, but usually I should be engaged with the characters, plot or something by this point, but so far - nothing.
