Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like many other reviewers I was very disappointed in this book. I am a huge Frank fan and have read all her previous books. For me, this book isn't anywhere near as good as her early books. The book does have some funny parts, but the book is hard to get into, which wouldn't be a problem if there had been a pay-off for the effort in the end. There wasn't. The book is ambitious, weaving history and present-day, but just doesn't reach its full potential. I just have to wonder what on earth she and her editor were thinking when they let this book go to publication. It's not the Frank I know. Again, that would be fine if the book was actually good. This one just wasn't.
Unfortunately, this is another author who will no longer be an automatic buy for me. I will check reviews first, then head for the library. Overall, the book falls short in too many areas to be a three-star book and just has too many obvious contrivances to make it a good read.
For those interested in reading it, I'd suggest getting it from the library or waiting for the paperback version. There are so many other books well worth purchasing. Sadly, this one was not one of them for me.
