Cannot See the Point
I didn't buy this book right away. It had rave reviews but but I was hesitant. Now that I have it I realize my instinct was correct. I have been reading it for quite a while and it has just never drawn me back to it. In fact I am loathe to pick it up. I am a voracious reader and will read just about anything. I rarely give up on a book but here I am on page 151 and I just can't see the point of continuing. The chapters are two pages long each and they switch between the two main characters. I just looked ahead and the whole book is set up like this. Maybe this is good writing and a good story but the lack of flow just kills my interest. I see over 7000 reviews averaging over 4 stars and I think I must be missing something. But really this just drags for me. There are better war time stories.
