Title: Promising premise becomes heavy-handed
Review: "She looked to Krakow slow?" What is this, with all the maddening adjectives strewn into sentences where adverbs should be? It doesn't sound poetic, just clunky as all get out and distracting to anyone who cares about clean, unaffected writing. The school and the island could have been so much more sharply drawn, and Jane Guy remains a pitiful victim from start to end. Is the reader supposed to feel sorry for her, given the unsubtly awful parents? It's hard not to feel repugnance instead.No complexity of character anywhere, a plot that plods toward a grim conclusion and always those missing "ly"s to render the book semi-literate: this was a disappointment.
