That is until I read a little further and realised that it was being represented as a science fiction story with a twist and I'm afraid that I switched off at that point, as the only two genres with which I simply cannot connect, are science fiction and fantasy.<br /><br />I also hadn't come across the term 'slipstream' fiction before, so when I checked out the official definition and read it in conjunction with the remainder of your review, I began to waver back towards giving it a try, which is where I am still at!<br /><br />As always a purely personal and honest review, which is just the way I think it should be and what I like to read :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-48702616720770998472015-08-17T16:55:35.096+01:002015-08-17T16:55:35.096+01:00Wait wait wait.

One was a hit and the other a miss.

When in very good hands they can be really serious stories that tell us a lot about life. <br /><br />Too bad that you found the ending disappointing.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-21046706263022428712015-08-16T20:05:17.716+01:002015-08-16T20:05:17.716+01:00Sorry to hear that it had too much going onSorry to hear that it had too much going onbrandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-26234895995590861302015-08-16T19:56:13.575+01:002015-08-16T19:56:13.575+01:00Tracy, congrats on your blogiversary win!
