Diana C. (dianamarie) - reviewed I really tried to love this book on 3/1/2009 + 19 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 4

I really tried to love this book, but alas, it was not so. I was very excited about the concept of this true story, so much so I broke my rule about not purchasing hardback books (due to cost)and purchased this one. The writing was poor; the story is sort of about Dewey, but there are many side stories about other towns and health concerns of the author. It is like the author couldn't stay focused. The is a TON of repetition...so much so that when I got to Chapter 12 I just started skimming.

I would give this writing a C-, but the concept of Dewey is an A. It's a cute idea, but if it had been written with more focus on the main subject, Dewey, it would have been a much better book.
