Book Reviews of PaperQuake: A Puzzle
Book Review: Good book - lacks a good ending...
Summary: 3 Stars
Now, the book was interesting in the beginning, yet the characters seem fake and not real. As a result, you can't relate to them, in any way. Violet's paralyzing fear of the earthquakes that are rocking the San Francisco Bay Area makes it difficult for her to overcome her "baby" image. Her mother is not much help, let alone her sisters. This author is not very talented, yet has a very good imagination. In the story, Violet's family never really encourages her to do anything. They constantly tease her (at this I was surprised, because the mom was doing it as well, which I thought was quite peculier) and call her "Baby" and don't do anything much to help her acheive strength academically, or physically. The story is mostly about mysterious letters appearing in an old house that the Jackstone sisters are renovating. The end is a bit vague and the author should really work on making her characters "real." Other than all that the overall plot was absolutely amazing and a complete page-turner. Her romance never goes anywhere and never really takes charge of her life. Because of all this, I give a generous 3 stars.
