Negative Positive
Title: Speechless
Review: I found this book too confusing from the start. It had absoulutely no reference to the period in which it was set. I felt as if I were reading a contemporary novel because of the way that people spoke. The dialogue just wasn't written the way people spoke and thought in 1871. The jacket told of a charming story about Kyle and Amelia. If only that story had followed through into the book. For instance, the best friend from law school and the brother and the mother and the best friend's stepmother who slept with the main character(blah, blah, blah) had way too much time on the pages.I bought the book because Ms. Lindstrom was compared to LaVyrle Spencer - believe me, there's no comparison. I will give Shades of Honor a shot because that is her book that had so many good reviews, but I will look for it at the library.
Is the review positive or negative?
