julieputty 's review for:

1.0

I fell asleep the first two times I tried to read this book. I don't think it was the book, yet it's a hard impression to shake. It's gone back to the library, but I'm going to leave it on my planned reading list and see if I can try again in a few months or years.

Well, I tried again, and got about a quarter of the way through before deciding I just didn't care. Nothing about this worked for me. The writing is both florid and distant, the characters flat, the action told but not shown.
