Book Reviews of Without a Map: A Memoir
Book Review: A Bit Confusing
Summary: 3 Stars
While I was captivated by Meredith Hall's courageous story, I found her writing style to be quite confusing. She did not tell the story from either the past or the present--but tended to mix the two. It would often take a paragraph or two within each new chapter to figure out where she was in time or space. In addition, I felt so many details that would be interesting to the reader were omitted. For example, how did she get from a beach in Syria back to the United States with little or no money? How did she meet her husband and where did she get married?
I could have never survived the mental or emotional abuse that Ms. Hall suffered, and she is an incredible inspiration. I just wish the story line would have been more linear.
