"Fatal Liaison" sounded interesting, but it fell short of my expectations. It wasn't a bad book, but neither was it a good book.I couldn't get invested in the characters. Most were unlikeable, and all of them seemed one-dimensional and flat. The heroine seemed immature, dull, and slightly obnoxious. The hero was better, but still not very interesting. As I read the dialogue and thoughts of various characters, they kept playing in my mind as a monotone, with no one exhibiting any real passion. The action and suspense were dull, and too much time was spent describing food and drinks, which did nothing to build atmosphere or further the plot. I had to force myself to finish reading this book. It just did not hold my interest."Fatal Liaison" received a lot of positive reviews, so obviously a number of people disagree with my opinion of the book. The author wrote well in terms of the mechanics. Grammar, spelling, vocabulary, etc. were good and relatively free of mistakes. My review is based on my personal response to the book, and that is subjective. As I said, it is not a bad book, but it did not appeal to me.
