Book Reviews of the Body Surfing: A Novel
Customer Review: Surfing Into Conflict
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good book but not as good as other novels by Shreve that I have enjoyed. It is still a fairly quick read and good for passing some time.
The basic plot is straightforward - a family hires a tutor (Sydney) for their daughter, and there are two older brothers which sets up the some of the main portions of the book. Then there are are other issues such as the conflict between Sydney and the mother of the family.
Eventually the book does wind up being satisfying reading even if it is not the best work by the author.
