Title: It just didn't grab me the way I expected
Review: I actually read this novel about four years ago and didn't really like it, but after reading all the rave reviews on this site I decided to give it another try. I came away feeling exactly the same way as before, let down. The plot never really grabbed me like I thought it would. Also, I never really cared for the character of Joe. Emotionally and physically scared by an abusive father, Joe grows attached to his foster family, and even becomes his adopted father Will's personal driver. When Will is murdered Joe decides to uncover the mystery behind his death on his own. Sounds like it could be interesting huh? Well, seems like most of you have but I just coulded get into this one. When it was over I was relieved, and that's not a good feeling. Sorry, maybe the third time will be a charm, but I don't see myself reading this again just to come away with the same opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
