pick

Yeah, well, a pick I guess. But because it‘s shortlisted for the #ToB23 I had high expectations and it‘s just a very straightforward story, nothing new, unexpected or original. Enjoyable and with a message but in the end forgettable.

Ruthiella Agree. The writing was perfunctory except for when he was describing how he interpreted music. Also, there were a few ? for me; like why his mother is so cruel to him only and where is his father. A sentence could have cleared that up. 1y

rmaclean4 Agreed. 1y

BarbaraBB @Ruthiella I was wondering about those questions too. Also I was surprised about the two almost identical run-in‘s with the police. Just meh 1y

Suet624 The main reason I liked it was because he said some of the incidents happened to him. I thought he wrote those parts in a way that I could feel his distress during the events. 1y

BarbaraBB @Suet624 I only knew that happened to him after I finished the book. The epilogue touched me more than the book I am afraid 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1y

sarahbarnes I actually just returned this to the library without reading it and your review makes me feel okay about that. 1y

Cinfhen I thought this was enjoyable but definitely NOT worthy of a roosters🐔 1y

Megabooks Excellent points! 1y

CBee Checked off a prompt or two though 🙌🏻🙌🏻 1y

Hooked_on_books Well that‘s too bad. I loved this one, but went in with no expectations and that can make all the difference. 1y

Librarybelle This is on my to read list…I think I‘m intrigued by this one only because I play the violin 😂 1y

BarbaraBB @Librarybelle You do? Then you should, the book is a real hommage to the violin! 1y

batsy Yes, it was a bit generic in the sense of me having read one too many mysteries 😆 Also the writing didn't do much for me. But I enjoyed the energy some sections had, and the bits of humour. 1y

Librarybelle I have it on my iPad, so one of these days… 1y
