Review: Very slow start
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 6, 2013
My mother really enjoyed this book, but I am 20% of the way into it and nothing has happened yet, other than a bunch of people sitting around having not-very-interesting (and somewhat repetitive) conversations (mainly about a horse that has died and about the insurance on that horse). Already there are so many characters that it is difficult to keep them straight in my head. The conversations are disjointed and difficult to tell how the bankers fit in with the rest of the story.... I really wanted to love this book, but I cannot force myself to read any further. When I read a book described as a "thriller" I am expecting a lot of action, and right from the start. It gets 3-stars from me, only because my mother liked it. For me, it is just too slow to get started.
