I definitely understand why it can come through, but I think when I'm reading a book unless the subject matter is on that particular subject, I like to escape and dream so I would probably give this one a pass, but another brilliant review here, as always Tracy. - TashaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335219443113802041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-14678226281762022432017-06-16T10:44:47.693+01:002017-06-16T10:44:47.693+01:00Ah a bit complicated thereAh a bit complicated thereMellianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406103812986322082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-54854114038725457272017-06-16T06:26:29.392+01:002017-06-16T06:26:29.392+01:00Tracy,

The Bosnian Civil War is also terribly tragic and interesting. Too bad that this was lacking in so many other ways.

I've heard of the author but still consider myself a newbie reader in this genre.

This one doesn't sound too appealing, though. I can think of a few authors I read who tend to get "preachy" with their social agendas, but it's something I can overlook if everything else about the book/series is good. It appears this one failed on several levels. <br /><br />Considering how you came up with it, not a bad memorable moment at all!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
