Book Reviews of Fortune's Rocks: A Novel
Book Review: Annoying but compelling
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first Anita Shreve book. I decided to give it a go because I needed something easy to read but reasonably intelligent.
I found the book in some parts extremely annoying. For no other reason but for the subject matter. It was still very compelling to continue reading.
What I liked was it was not too cliche' as a love story. I am not into love stories at all. This book I feel could be classed as controversial by today's standards but still well written enough not to cross any immoral boundaries.
It is a good read and very much recommended. I would think though it is a book for females.
