Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lissa Evans
3.0
Right, well, my overall thoughts is that I have enjoyed it. It was interesting and enjoyable. You see a variety of characters through the book that are all very different, with different experiences and it made for an interesting read.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the structure. You see what happens to a good variety of characters but you don't spend an awful lot of time with the characters. The structure also means you go through a long period of time but only see snippets of their life. It didn't allow for me to get attached to the characters, which is necessary for me because I am an emotional reader.
Can we also talk about how that thing that happened towards the end with the water tank...yeah, I didn't really understand the necessity of that and I'm a sucker for a happy ending so I didn't like it. But there we go. If you're interested in the premise I definitely recommend giving it a go. I enjoyed it enough that I still want to see the movie adaptation.
