Book Review of Dream of the Blue Room

Dream of the Blue Room


I looked forward to reading another Michelle Richmond novel after enjoying The Year Of Fog. Dream of the Blue Room was Richmond's first novel, and you can tell she didn't have the descriptive paragraphs smoothed out. While the novel was interesting, and carried you through Jenny's trip in China with tons of description, there lacked the writing quality that made you exclaim, " Wow, what a great book." as you finished that last page.
