Review: Passive Summary
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 07 14, 2014
This short book read more like a synopsis that a complete story. The characters are described with their life stories--far more than is pertinent for such a short story--in passive voice and present tense at the beginning of the book. Then the story itself is mostly passive, often convoluted, and more a summary of the action than active writing that makes the reader feel she is right in the story. There were tense changes in scenes and sometimes even sentences as well as grammar and spelling errors. Editing and revising could make the story much stronger.
