Review:
This was my first time reading a Historical Fiction Novel by Melanie Benjamin - Author so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i expect so much more from this book then what i got which was a BIG Disappointment.
The Characters were OK but not very likeable especially since some of them kept arguing with each other which i felt took away from what the storyline was about.
The Setting was OK too with very little discriptiveness about where it was set in.
Overall an OK Historical Fiction but could of been so much better. I will read more by Melanie in the future, but hope her other books are better then this one was.
