Title: not good at all
Review: I really thought the book was going to be great when I read the inside cover and duskjacket write up, but it is nothing of the kind.Someone on the back cover of the book compared it to Memoirs of a Geisha , that is laughable as it is not even comparable.I have no problems with the way the story is told, its the dialogue which is extremely hard to follow. It gets descriptive and perhaps too crazy? I don't know how to describe it. Characters shouting out or chanting? It was just too stupid to even follow. Just horrible dialogue and the storyline is not strong enough to make up for it.I eventually gave up and stopped reading the book. It gets worse as the story goes. Sometimes I even forget who was speaking in the story and I find my mind wandering around.Its a real shame , since it says the author spent 10 years researching the story and historical facts. Perhaps she should have worked on the dialogue.Dont' even bother.
Is the review positive or negative?
