Book Reviews of Day After Night
Book Review: A Disappointing Lack of Character Development
Summary: 3 Stars
I was surprisingly disappointed. The setting and plot are a fascinating part of history that I know nothing about, and this could have been a great book. But I felt like I was reading a Reader's Digest Condensed version of something. The novel introduced too many characters, and barely scratched the surface of the main four. There wasn't enough character development for me to believe or understand these women, or to become involved in the plot and care about the outcome.
It was well written enough that I finished it (and I'm not shy about dropping books that I'm not enjoying), so I gave it three stars, but as I said, it was a disappointing read.
Book Review: Haunting story of resilience
Summary: 4 Stars
Loved this deeply sad look at a world continuing to shut the doors on the abused victims of the Nazis. Leonie and Zorah were my favorites. It makes you feel silly complaining when these women had real woes. Just lost a star for slowness.Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
The Red Tent was one of my favorite books, so I was looking forward to the new Anita Diamant...but I found it lacking in spite of the interesting topic.
