Title: Short and Strange
Product review: As part of summer reading I was forced to read this book. I really wonder why. It was poorly written, first of all. The little mini-chapters leave you confused. I expected this to be a sort of fictional account of this girls life as told by her. Instead, I am reading 2 page short stories that sometimes make no sense. Many of these stories have really no relation to any storyline whatsoever. I can see that this book was written to inspire, but it really left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I am usually an avid reader. I read at least 40 pages a day, usually more. Yet this 110 page mini-novel was so terrible that I had trouble reading 10 a day. I literally had to force myself to bucke down and read this thing. It ended up taking me more than a week to read 110 measley pages that I expected to finish in 2 days. In closing, of all the books I've read this summer (I am reading Clan of the Cave Bear now, and even that is better than this), this is the worst.
