Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

---

I'm having a really tough time rating this. I've been anxious to read it and grabbed a copy when I saw it available on the shelf at the library (that e-book wait list was so long!), but it took me about 5 days to get through it, which is very unusual for me. I felt like the concept was there, but it was something about the style of storytelling that just took too long to hook me. What kept me going was the desire to see how the story ended and each character's conclusion; that said, this won't be something that goes on my favorite books of the year list, which is disappointing!
