Negative Positive
Title: A let down ...
Review: Though the book claims to be in the 180 page range, it's really much less with its HUGE margins and blank pages separating the chapters. It skips around A LOT -- doesn't cover the whole summer that they're engaged and says NOTHING of the actual reception. Which could have been such a pleasure to read! The only good part of the book is the deeper look into Cynthia that you get. If you're a diehard Mitford fan, you're going to buy it no matter what. Just DON'T expect Karon to keep up her track record. And it seems it'll be quite some time until we get another Mitford like we expect -- in the spirit of J.K. Rowling, Karon will be publishing two mini books this coming Fall which will only take away from the next full size Mitford novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
