Title: Ponderous & Rather Boring - Her Other Books are So Much Better
Product review: I have enjoyed all of Sarah Waters books (especially Tipping the Velvet), but was surprised to find Night Watch to be, frankly, quite boring. Too much unnecessary detail. I kept thinking "Ok, get to the point" in several places. I though some of the characters were quite compelling, but the story wasn't well put together. Starting in 1944 for one third of the book, then reverting back to 1941 didn't seem to make sense to me. Sometimes that works, this time it really didn't. I'd like to pluck the main characters of this novel, sit them down, and have Sarah start fresh with a clean, crisp, well-put-together story. There's a good book hiding in here, but I was just barely able to suffer through the poor construction and overly laborius description of this one. I will, however, continue, to read Sarah's books unless this problem continues.
