erato 's review for:

The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

1.0

---

I know a lot of people liked this book and I'm sorry I have to give it such a low rating. The writing is okay, that's not the problem but it has so little dialogue it reads more like a series of essays than a novel. Also, the plot twists are so unbelievable and forced, I found it very tiresome. I stuck with it for almost 3/4 of the way through, largely due to the good reviews but I just don't have that much time to waste and ended up moving on
