We had to read this book for school, so I decided to do a quick review of it. It’s not very long. 116 pages I think. It took me ages to get through. Like… a week of study halls (where I alternated between reading and texting, so I got maybe 40 minutes of reading in every day).
I was a bit nervous about reading it, since a girl in my study hall mentioned that it was a really bad book and I think she’s smart… but really, it wasn’t that bad. I mean, ok I didn’t like it and I probably wouldn’t recommend it. It’s very bland. Nothing about it stands out really. Some chick in New Orleans cheats on her husband who ends up disappearing 3/4ths of the way through the book and is never mentioned again. Woot. It wasn’t really torture to read either though. Just kind of like… oh yay a book, I wonder what we’re doing next period?
The characters are all fairly realistic. Honestly, if you’re just starting to get interested in that time period (hell if I know which one it is… I’m sorry! Maybe it’s on the site that the picture links to… ^_^), you would probably enjoy the book. If you’re just looking for a random short book to read, sure. If you’re looking for something nice and solid to read, stay away from this. As far as modern literature goes, it’s a disappointment. Especially in our action/romance/horror-craving society.
…Yeah that’s basically it. Though the book did really make me wish it was summer.
Books I’m reading at the moment:
Cell by Stephen King
4th book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King
The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel
