Title: It didn't work for me
Review: It's 6 stories extremely vaguely linked told with a jump of about 30 years per story as each chapter progress. Each book is supposedly written in the style of the era it's set in and based on the age of the person telling the story. The books are split with the first half told forward - the as you get to the 'end' of the last time period, it reverses telling the rest of the story for each story.As I don't read reviews ahead of reading the book I didn't know any of that.Instead of finding it clever I found myself incredibly frustrated as each chapter ended with a cliffhanger so to speak. By the time the story reversed - I didn't care anymore as the story lost its momentum. I didn't think the changing writing styles added to the story - on the contrary I felt it took away from it.Based on this I won't be reading anything else by this author.
