Review: The Rosie Effect (Don Tillman, #2)
Tedious! After listening to the Bolinda audio for two and a half hours, I’m still waiting for something to actually happen. I have lost interest, totally! Also, the narrator is not so good, and has made several mistakes in the reading, which hasn’t helped.
I did enjoy the The Rosie Project, but I think Simsion should have left the story there, rather than try to milk it further.
Review: Two Steps Forward
Remember that game you played as a kid, where someone wrote a paragraph of a story, then folded it over, revealing only the last line, then passing it on to the next person to continue the story, following the clue left by the last line? Well, that’s how I felt this book was written. Chapters alternate between the two narrators, Zoe and Martin. I found the writing confusing - I kept having to check the top of the page to discern if it was Zoe or Martin !
However…..I was fascinated by the journeys these two characters took, both physical & emotional. It is obvious that Simsion & Buist have indeed walked The Way, and the descriptions of the walk itself, and the people met along the way, are captivating.
I found this a diverting read, and it has piqued my interest in the Camino walks, encouraging me to explore more books about these amazing pilgrim walks.
