Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really wanted to like this book. It could have been a great story. The author wrote this like she had taken a bunch of notes to herself and strung the notes into a paragraph. It made reading the book uncomfortable. It also made it seem incomplete. There was so much of the story that seemed unfinished and way too much was left up in the air. Again making the story seem extremely incomplete. As others, I'm not really sure why it was called the miniaturist because it was less about the miniaturist than about Nella. I did read it to the end because I kept hoping that it would get better and there were some parts of the story that were ok but I like a story that has an ending, has closure, answers the questions and doesn't leave things to the imagination of the reader. Sorry, I wish I hadn't wasted my time reading this one. Read only if you like much of the storyline left to your own imagination.
