Title: One long writing exercise
Review: This book was selected to read by my book club. I was hoping for an interesting story however I should have known by its length that this book would turn out to be one long writing exercise usually required for a beginning creative writing class. An experienced writer knows how to get their point across, make the words flow and keep a reader captivated with fewer words. This story was filled up with any historical info the author could get her hands on. Add to that the creative writing exercises of how many different ways this writer could describe something led up to an exhausting read. Some authors get paid for each page they write so perhaps that's what happened here. This book should never have been published with more than 300 pages in it.
