Review: Mixed Feelings
Rating: 3 out of 5

I read Women of Power in a couple of days. I was interested in the story. I wanted to read to the end. The ending was rather abrupt. The protagonist is not all that likeable, and like another reviewer said, she's somewhat Spock-like. I kept thinking that she must surely care all those times she insisted she didn't. The other characters are not well fleshed out either but perhaps that has more to do with the way the story is told through the eyes of the protagonist who does not get very close to anyone.However, despite liking the plot, I was thoroughly irritated by the punctuation. It felt a fifth grader punctuated this story with commas separating the noun from its action  or commas missing altogether. I had to reread many sentences several times. Another irritation was the int4erchangeable use of "my" and "by," and "where" and "were." These definitely slowed my reading and at times I felt like throwing my Kindle across the room but I paid a lot more for the Kindle than for the book.
