Title: You'll have more fun reading a history book....
Review: What the HECK was this book about?! I've read it - or tried to -and I have absolutely no clue. I was completely lost by the second chapter when the author began her lecture on 'leaves' and 'illuminations' and yada yada blah blah blah... In Moving Target Lowell goes through lengths in trying to impress the readers on the tiniest and quite boring details ancient manuscripts, the making of them, the forging of them, the making of them again and again and again. Erik and Serena become secondary characters to the boring history lesson. We (the readers) don't get the chance to know or understand Erik and Serena as they're development is hindered by the numerous (insignificant) secondary characters and the constant lectures by the author.All in all, I'm sorry I wasted my money on this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
