Review: Losing sight of the reason for writing

I really enjoyed the first part of this book. Victoria's story of her early life, her family's tragedies and her courage in going through with the unexpected pregnancy was truthful, honest and well written.  BUT, when the book changed from an autobiography to a travel guide, it was truly awful.  Pick almost any page and you will find it irritatingly full of dangling participles and distant passive voice.  It read like any brochure one might pick up from a travel centre.  The personal touches, where she wrote about herself and of Peter, were interesting, but few and far between.FINDING myself becoming increasingly bored, the rest of the book was skimmed. Putting it down, was a relief.And yes, these are the dangling participles, and passive voice!
