Book Reviews of Catching Genius
Book Review: Catches up at the end
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the first 100-150 pages really hard to get through but kept going since my sisters said Catching Genius was such a great book. I'm glad I did because once the story started to come more alive I couldn't put it down, especially the last 100 pages. I love Kiernan's flow in her writing and also all the small metaphors such as Connie taking off her wedding rings while playing the violin as a necessity to play but also a statement against her husband. I really feel for Connie but I can't seem to gain the same feeling for Estella. I suppose that is because Kiernan does not put as much effort in Estella's character as she does with Connie. Also, maybe I'm a sucker for drama but I would have liked more elaboration regarding the issues with Luke and Connie.
Don't get me wrong, this book is definitely worth your time. I will continue to read Kiernan's books because she does write beautifully and if her other books has stories as touching as this one I just wouldn't want to miss it for the world!
