As this month comes to a close, I am sad that I was not able to review as many books as I would have liked, but I am reading one now that is sure to please for next month!
In the mean time, here are the two novels that unfortunately "did not make the grade:"
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight: I liked the concept and how the character's could easily be seen with individual personalities, but there were a few problems that left me uninterested in continuing to read. The biggest problem was that the storyline did not hold my interest; it reminded me of the film, "Mean Girls" but with a sadder twist. I was hoping my mind would be changed but some of the characters irritated me and I didn't care to learn more about what really happened.
The Translator by Nina Schuyler: To be honest, I fell out of reading this novel because I wasn't sure where the plot was going, although it was written very well. I can definately say that I would try reading this book again, maybe when I have a little more patience in finding out where the plot leads us.
Happy Halloween (for tomorrow) and I look forward to writing more next month!
