celticrockgirl 's review for:

Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool

2.0

---

2.5 stars. This was pleasant enough to read (listen to on audiobook actually), and I enjoyed the bit of history, but I felt like there were too many meandering storylines that were supposed to intersect but never quite did. Another one of those books where it feels like you are steadily building toward a great climax in the plot for 95% of the book, then the last 5% was hardly worth the wait and the climax fell very short. I did really enjoy how the author explained what was true and what was made up at the end of the book. It was interesting to know some of the characters and storylines were based on real life.
