The Thirteenth Tale
by Diane Setterfield
Well... I gave this book a 4 star because I liked the over all idea of the plot and thought it was creative that way...
BUT... I did have a few problems with this book. The most aggravating to me was the way the author wrote. Her style and flow felt very stiff and tedious. Sometimes it felt like the characters would come to certain conclusions or understandings without clueing the reader in on it. It left me feeling confused at certain points in the story. Then there were other parts of the story that were just too predictable and felt flat.
I like the story, but don't think I would pick up another book by the author. Just didn't like her style, and while the story had exciting moments, the style just kind of took the wind out of the sails for me.
