Review: Lost in translation!
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 29, 2013
I'm giving the story a 3 star rating. But the translation and flow and grammar...maybe half of a star. The sentence structure and lack of congruity in many parts made this difficult to enjoy. It's got a pretty good premise. But when I look at the book as a whole, I'm left scratching my head.It jumped from one setting to another so quickly in places that I thought maybe I missed a chapter break or a page or something and kept going back to see what I missed. Nope, I hadn't skipped a page. Not sure if someone left whole chunks of the book out while translating it or what. Like others have said, there is not a translator mentioned. What's up with that? I'm wondering if someone actually read the book after they translated it because they'd have seen that some of the sections make no sense.So basically it probably would make a good made for TV movie, but as a book....not so much. Maybe if you really like Westerns and don't care about character depth or the flow of the storyline, you would like it. I just don't see it. Not one of the characters is well-developed except maybe Kane. It could have been much better had he just stayed in the town with Linda's family and become a lawman or something. It's just pretty much a kind of good story that's a hot mess in execution.
