The All of It

Gosh, this book was a dud, and a weird dud at that. Generally I am a bit hesitant to give a low review due to the fact that I am not actually qualified to do so - but I really have no problem doing just that to this book. Although the way in which the story was related was somewhat unique (throughout most of the book, the main character told the priest a story about her life living with her brother and letting everybody assume they were husband and wife), it could hardly be described as intriguing. There was also this side story about the priest going fishing that I didn't really get. Lastly, I don't want to give Mr. Prescott (the person who gave this story a positive review) a pat on the back, I am just interested in knowing how much he was paid...

Appearance: 1.5/5 - I'm not sure how the picture on the cover relates at all to the story. That said, somehow this book drew me in enough to buy it, maybe it was the mystery behind this vague cover?

Readability: 1.5/5 - It was easy to read the words themselves, but not the story.

My Points: 3/10 - I just cannot find it within me to add many points here - I simply did not enjoy this book. The points I assign here are due to the fact that at least the story was original. I have never and probably will never read another story quite like this one.

Total: 6/20
