More time to spend on a book you do like! :) <br />Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-69195747838219444462015-09-17T22:06:51.042+01:002015-09-17T22:06:51.042+01:00Hi Tracy,
Well! You haven't had a very succes...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />Well! You haven't had a very successful week one way and another, what with the Jacqui Rose book being unreadable, as well as this one.<br /><br />I'm with you, in that a story, no matter how long or short, Needs a strong beginning, a good middle story and a decisive ending.<br /><br />Whilst, as I said before, I can close my ears to the bad language, if it is an important part of the storyline, or the region in which the story is set. However, gratuitous bad language, explicit sex and violence, should be clearly branded under the 'erotica' genre, so that I know to avoid it!<br /><br />I hope that your run of bad luck doesn't continue and I look forward to your next review :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-91745975970058758662015-09-16T15:16:39.296+01:002015-09-16T15:16:39.296+01:00That is saying something when even you cannot fini...That is saying something when even you cannot finish a book. From your thoughts on the book, I don't think I would have finished this one either. Sometimes negative reviews make me more interested in a book, but the complaints you had are not ones I would be able to stomach well myself. Hopefully you were able to move onto a better book!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-90019291693295814652015-09-16T14:34:29.694+01:002015-09-16T14:34:29.694+01:00Though I often like unconventional writing and unc...Though I often like unconventional writing and unconventional styles, the negatives of this book as you describe them sound overwhelming. <br /><br />I find that time is too short to waste on books that we get nothing out of.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-63923467810548315562015-09-16T06:21:40.866+01:002015-09-16T06:21:40.866+01:00Oh sorry to see you couldn't finish it.

Will have to try and find this and see what it's like but that is one of my reading pet-hates - the story always sounds good and then it isn't! Gahhh!
