Negative Positive
Title: Just didnt like it.
Review: I didn't like this book. It was very well written, but in the end I was disappointed. In order to like a book, and its characters and its story, I have to believe what I am reading. If the storyline has me perplexed, because the characters are doing things that would not be within the normal parameters of the plot and theme, I scratch my head. If this was truly a community of religious people, following their leaders rules and regulations no matter how ridiculous or abusive, than the events would have ever taken place. You have to suspend disbelief and I don't like doing that. Ninah and James would have NEVER been aloud to be alone, never. Not for Prayer time, quiet time or hammer time. Grandpa Herman, while not the smartest man alive, would have been worldly enough to know the brains of young adults, no matter who they were. Now I know it's a work of fiction, and it "could have" happened, but something deep down in me kept doubting it and it ruined the book for me all together.
Is the review positive or negative?
