Title: I expected to love this...
Review: I really enjoyed two other books (Scarlett/Fields of Gold) by this author and expected to love this one.For some reason, I found this book really tedious... I should mention that I expect and am usually charmed by some level of tedium found in books of the old South (and old England for that matter). So, I'm not sure why I had very little patience for this book.I was stuck on a plane otherwise I may not have finished it. In some sections, I would only read the first sentence of each paragraph. I have to admit that the last third of the book became much more interesting. I understand that the beginning of the book lays the foundation for the rest of the book but the lack of enjoyment of the first 2/3 was just too much...Oh well. I'm hesitant to read another Ripley book but liked the first two enough to give it another shot. Hopefully I have better luck next time around.
Is the review positive or negative?
