mandyladdie 's review for:
Winter's Tale
by Mark Helprin
I'm being generous when I give this book 2 stars and this is only due to the fact the Helprin while an excellent writer is a horrible novelist. I found myself on every fifth page wondering what happened to the plot. It seems to be hidden amongst the imagery, metaphors and the unyielding sentence structures. This book could have been a great love story summed up in 200 pages; however, Helprin drags on a story about...a white horse? gangs? New York? love? a cloud wall?...I'm still not sure...for 800 pages! If this is on your TBR list - skip it and read the summary on Spark Notes.
