2.0 out of 5 stars
Not sure why I finished this book..., December 7, 2004
This review is from: The Trees of Eden (Paperback)
This book was certifiably mediocre - not bad enough to stop reading, but not good enough to actually like. The character development, for the most part, is extremely limited, so you never really connect with anyone. You can tell that you're supposed to connect with the narrator, but the quality of writing just isn't there. The book simply reads as a series of events in the life of a young woman, because there is no "life" in this book. I found the resolution at the end of the book to be almost fantastical. The author did her research with regard to suffragettes of the era, but gave the reader no concrete way to identify with the cause. Sometimes I wonder how books this mediocre get published!
