Review: So Many Holes
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 19, 2013
This story had more holes in it than Swiss cheese. There were so many things that did not make sense. The climatic scene in the nightclub where she is screaming in pain but no one checks until she actually just calls for help when they are magically there. When she shows up to the shelter with pretty obvious evidence of what she went through, and the family who took her in makes all those assumptions when she gets sick? Or when she walks out on her relationship with only her purse but opens a bank account and gets handed a debit card -- what about needing an address? What about her medication?Not to mention the book began as the love child of Chicago and Sucker Punch.So you are probably wondering why I am giving it four stars. I have no other way to put this than this book has MAGIC. There is just something intangible that lives and breathes in these pages. the quality of writing was great. It flowed and was visual, and wasn't overbearing. The story, imperfect as it was, told itself.What I would love to see is a second edition of this book, with all these loopholes closed and the story concise. For what it is, however, it is still pretty good. Worth the time invested.
