Title: Too Much of a Bad Thing
Review: It is very rare that, once started, I do not finish reading a book. I must admit that I did not finish this book. I realize that it was written a long time ago, but that is true of many outstanding novels and classic tales. This book misses the mark in so many ways. Very soon I realized that the writer was far more interested in proclaiming her own personal opinions on religion, good, evil and spiritual direction than she was interested in creating characters of depth or interesting plot development. I am certain that Fordyce's Sermons had better and more riveting writing. The characters in the book come across as steriotypical and one-diminsional, and I could not readily discern a plot or purpose beside the writer's intent to preach. Even as an Amazon "free" book, Ardeth is over-priced in time and effort.
