Title: Begging for Narrative
Review: Usually I give a book the first 100 pages to decide if I want to continue reading. I made it to page 56 with this one and couldn't go any further. I wanted so much to enjoy reading this and at the outset I thought I was in for a good read. There's nothing more boring than leaving the readers out of the action. This book is all self-reflection, which is great if you happen to find your teenage daughter's secret diary, but I wanted a narrative--a real story. The reader is never taken inside a scene, but only reads about reflections, and the book goes to more than 372 pages like this! The emails used to tell Puppy and Master's story should have been converted into a well developed narrative. I guess the author didn't have the talent to do that.
Is the review positive or negative?
