Reviews

[Eve1972]

I didn't particularly enjoy this one, admittedly it isn't one of my favorite genres, but I thought the blurb sounded interesting and gave it a go. I found it pretty boring and had to force myself to keep reading hoping for a good ending, alas I was disappointed by that also. On a positive note the book is beautifully written and the author does know how to tell a tale, perhaps I just choose the wrong novel for my introduction to his work?
