kvalentine3 's review for:
The Women in the Castle
by Jessica Shattuck
DID NOT FINISH
I'm not having much luck with books lately and I appear to be the minority in my rating of this book. I have so many books on my kindle that have yet to be read, and while I give every book a fair shake in its storytelling, I'm not going to continue reading a book I dislike just for the sake of reading it.
I found "The Women in the Castle" to be bland, confusing (because of all the time & character jumping), and just down right boring. None of the characters "spoke" to me. I found them all one-dimensional & rather depressing & unlikable. I found the choice of words that characters spoke at times to be out of step with the era being written about.
There are many other WWII historical fiction books that are better written & enjoyable to read.
