After finishing this book a few days ago I felt as though I needed to let it sink in before deciding whether I liked it or not. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the book. I feel as though the storyline was not very consistent which made it hard to read. There wasn't really any background on the problems that the main character faced which made it a bit confusing. I feel like if there was a bit more background I would have liked it more. Also there were some big questions that I was left with after I finished reading it like what ended up happening to the boys family? Also I did not understand how Ginnie went from being Lettie's mother to her Grandmother. Some aspects of the book were interesting but all and all this book was not really my cup of tea.
Have you read other books by Gamon? Is it that this isn't your type of genre or is it this specific book? I ask because I got it for Christmas and want to know if I should start reading it. It's had mixed reviews.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jenny. I wasn't a huge fan of the book either. I just felt like the plot was confusing and just downright weak.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of myth references in the book which I thought took away from the story, but I don't really like myths in general. I totally agree with Megan in saying that it was confusing and lacked a good plot
