Review: Great Bones
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 20, 2014
I gave this story a 3 because it does have solid bones, but it was executed so poorly I just could not score it any higher. There were so many parts of the story that could have been told better. I did not like the way the 1st ladies were characterized as caring more about their appearances and the labels they wore than the issues that were really troubling them. The editing and formatting could also use some updating. Things like accidentally saying Andre instead of Lee and not using a pagebreak before starting a new chapter were distracting to me while reading. The ending felt rushed and the epilogue felt more like a hurried summary rather than the conclusion to the story. The end scene with Lynn could have been written much better if the author spent a little more time on it. I tried to like the book and enjoyed the story overall, but this felt like a very rough draft.
