This was one of those books where I’m not quite sure if it’s me .. or the book. In the end, this story wasn’t for me. The writing didn’t pull me in by any means. The characters felt flat or personality traits forced. The storyline felt unrealistic. Situations coming out of left field.…

An extra note, for all my fellow readers that feel guilt about giving up on book – DON’T. Some people might give this book 5 stars, while I couldn’t get through it. I’m not even sure what it was about the book… the beginning didn’t pick up enough to make me want to keep…

Starting this review off with a plea, ‘Don’t be mad at me!’ I do feel a slight moral obligation to be real with you about the books I read. First bit of truth I need to give you is, dang this book was HYPED UP. …. and it did not live up to said hype. What…

What it simply comes down to is this… this book was not for me. I disliked most (or all the characters), so that didn’t help. I didn’t like the ending. I didnt really like the beginning. I had an overall very hard time getting into the book to even begin To top it off, I really didn’t…

I read this book via an audio book, so my experience might be different than others. Overall the story felt all over the place. It seemed a mix between a horror and suspense but never really settling on just one. It sometimes felt like the author was trying to hit many points instead of just…

Start off straight away and say, a big reason for my rating is the way the title is misleading. To me, this story isn’t about the roles ‘Postmistresses’ played in the war in Paris. One could say it isn’t even based in Paris. This is a love story between artists, prisoners of war and an…

This book didn’t do it for me. I picked it up thinking I was going to read a book about a ghost in a bookstore… and the story that goes around with that. Although there was a ghost… and a bookstore… the story confused me. It felt all over the place. Unorganized. I couldn’t connect with…

One of those books that maybe everyone should read… but if this wasn’t a Disney movie, would anyone really care? I’ve read a few ‘out there ‘books. Books written ‘back in the day’ when situations don’t make sense. The story doesn’t flow. The ideas are so far out there, that you are amazed by the modern…

A book that isn’t for me. I don’t dislike short stories or essays, but I also don’t reach for them either. A positive I found is the style of the writing was so different from any collection of short stories I have read before. Clever title and love all the onion related quotes at…
