Book Reviews of The Watermelon King
Book Review: Good, but not Great
Summary: 3 Stars
I am not a english major, or a writer, or even an avid reader. I am just an average reader, and the review I am writting is based on my general feeling after reading this book, and that is: It's good, but not Great. The way the book begins, and the way the chapters are arranged as "interviews" really draws you in. I feel like the characters are interesting, and I could really start to feel myself getting sucked in... you know that feeling. I was able to visualize the people and the town. Then... the plot just started getting a little too weird for me, in particular the last 30 pages or so. Huge, life changing things are discovered and then not explored or discussed- just dropped, while the Watermelon festival takes center stage at the end, in a twisted way. Just weird.
