Review title: Too fractured for my taste
Product review: When a friend let me borrow the first three books in this series, I thought I was set for a long while. Not so. I couldn't even finish this book, let alone go on toEspresso TalesorLove Over Scotland (44 Scotland Street).I think it is the nature of serial writing itself that doesn't work for me. I'm a "buy and hold" kind of reader. When I encounter someone I like in a book, I want to stay with him or her. I didn't like jumping around every few pages from one narrator to the next.After a while, these supposedly disparate narrators began to all sound alike to me -- even their thought patterns eventually merged into one. And their lives are just plain dull. Dull, dull, dull. My life is boring enough; in my reading, I'd like something to think about, something to dream about, something to cherish. After 50 pages or so, I thought to myself: Do I really care about any of these people? The answer was no, so I stopped reading.
