jenniferworrell 's review for:

Two Nights by Kathy Reichs
2.0

As much as I enjoyed the premise of this story, and how the character arc is detailed strongly in the last chapter, the style was wearying. The entire book is written with short, choppy sentences, even during the quieter sequences. I found myself skimming over the many descriptions of Sunday's surroundings, as I got the gist: she's incredibly detail oriented. It's a shame the sentence structure made reading these sections exhausting rather than engaging. Another irksome issue: the vague handling of the MC's race and that of another character's (more detail may give things away, so forgive the irony). Until the last mention, this character aspect was unclear, and felt like only a token expression of diversity.
