This book made me feel a myriad of things—drawn-in (by the
first person narration) intrigued (by a land I know little about) grateful (for
living in a free country) compassion (for others who weren’t), and then, sadly,
I ultimately became…disinterested, so I didn’t finish it.
I wanted to like this story, and I’m not saying I disliked
it completely, but it didn’t keep my interest as I’d hoped it would. The
beginning sucked me in, but the middle left me wanting. Maybe being tired from
a lengthy trip contributed to me not finishing the book, but the main issues
(for me) were repetition, and sometimes having to ‘go back’ in the story to
figure out who was who etc.
Perhaps I’ll give it another try, and be able to leave a
more favorable review, but until then I rate this as ‘okay.’
