MY REVIEW:
I made a promise to myself when I started reviewing books that I would always be honest. And I have to say that I just had a really hard time reading through this book. I don't know if it just isn't a style of book I prefer or what it was, but I found myself skimming just so that I could say that I finished it. I was disappointed that I couldn't get into the story as I am fascinated by the Amish people and the premise of the book was good. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to try another of Ms. Brunstetter's book sometime and perhaps I might enjoy it more.
I'm glad you're honest about what you like/don't like to read. My daughter and I like to try out new authors (prolific readers) so it's wonderful to find someone that reviews Christian books. What authors do you like that have never disappointed you?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book, of course, but I know what you mean; I've read books that weren't necessarily bad or anything, but I just could not get interested in the story or the characters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for truthful reviewing! :)
