Review: Difficult Decision
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 3, 2012
The tale of Sweet Billy Ray and Charlene unfolds in deceptively simple style. There's a folksy, almost whimsical way in which Billy tells the story of how this mysterious young girl comes into his life.Then comes the drama and the mystery. It kept me entertained and it's all told at a nice pace but the characters and their actions don't quite ring true all the time. I also guessed the ending well before the end and there was an annoying `clue' which was heavily built up in the last third of the book - and then completely ignored and left unexplained at the end.It was a difficult decision whether to give this book a 3 or 4* rating. Ultimately, though, (since Amazon doesn't allow half marks) I felt I couldn't quite justify 4*s.
