Review: partial book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 22, 2014
The story had barely started when it was suddenly finished. The writing seemed stilted, awkward, and there were some inconsistencies; for instance the main lead character says that both of his sisters still live in Ohio, where they had grown up at location 900 in this book, but at location 1175 he says the one lives in Idaho and the other in Minnesota, something later affirmed at his father's birthday celebration. The author often uses the same phrases in different parts of the story instead of describing the same thing in different words or seeing the same thing from a slightly different perspective. That gives it a 2 dimensional perspective that makes the story come across as flat and unimaginative. Still the worst thing is what I began with; the story had barely begun before it was over. I do think Martha has some talent, but she needs to refine her writing skills to present a book truly worth reading. I rated it as high as I did because she presented a nice concept and didn't cheapen it with the crudeness so many modern romance writers engage in.
