I so wanted and expected to love this book. Ms. Rhimes' story of success is so inspiring, and I am a big fan of her television works. But, as hard as it is to believe, I actually did not like her writing style in this book.
Her writing style was just not to my liking.
Not to MY liking.
Not.
To my liking.
She wrote like that throughout the book. Very repetitively. Repeating herself with partial sentences, I guess hoping to drive her thoughts home. To me, it ruined the fluidity of the reading process.
The fluidity was ruined for me.
For me.
Maybe not for you.
But for me it was ruined.
It exasperated me. I gave up.
Alas, I hoped for more.
Alas.

** Two stars.
Only two.
