Book Review of The Birthday Present

The Birthday Present
sfc95 avatar reviewed on + 686 more book reviews


I do not like novels set in current day England. I do not know why, but every time I pick one up it seems to bore me the minute it is in my hand, and this is no exception. I did not finish this book, to me the writing was unclear, I couldn't keep characters straight and just did care to reread parts to see who was who. I sat on the wish list for a long time here and then got it at the library, so I am not swapping it, but unless you really like this author (I also have never read any of her works) I wouldn't call it a thriller that you can't put down, because I certainly did and have no desire to pick it up again or anything from this author.
