Negative Positive
Title: It didn't live up to all the hype and rave reviews.
Review: I anticipated the reading of "Rosewood Casket" when it became our book group's selection for January. I spent a summer with my country cousins in the very area her story takes place. However, after 100 pages I still struggled to see where the story was headed and I didn't feel pulled into the "suspense" or even grow to care about the personalities she portrayed. My husband and I finished the book for our club but we do not plan on following up with any of her other books. We felt we were reading the script for a made-for-tv movie whose plot rambles and then is neatly wrapped up at the end with a implausable finale. We appreciated the quotes from Daniel Boone that prefaced each chapter. They were the best part.
Is the review positive or negative?
