Review: Sorry I Just Don't Get the 5 Star Reviews
Rating: 2 out of 5

Thought I was getting a great read when I purchased this book based on the 5 star rating but feel very letdown by it. I couldn't even finish it which is a rarity for me. Guessed who Jamie was very early on and skipped to the end when I gave up to verify it.It seems to me that the author tried to pack too much into this book with a multitude of character features detailed that were unnecessary to the story in my opinion - at least to the detail they went into. The whole story is a fantasy which is normally fine by me, I love a bit of escapism, but this story was trying too hard to seem real and it just didn't work for me. The writing actually felt very clunky to me and didn't flow at all. I struggled through half of the book and then gave up as it just wasn't getting any better and I was getting irritated by it.I really don't get all the fuss made by other reviewers about this book. Certainly was nowhere near perfection for me. One of the few times I have been let down by other reviews.
