A review by roseleaf24
Surrender by Sonya Hartnett
2.0
If you're a reader who loves language for the sake of language and a good character study, this is the book for you.
Those of you who follow my reviews with any regularity know that's not me. I'm not sure how a book about arson and death could be so boring, but the main character in his death bed looking back on everything made it feel like nothing happened. The setting was really unclear to me; the small town was described well, but it was ungrounded. I didn't know time period or country or region, and that was a problem for me, though I suppose it added to the feeling of isolation.
