The main character is flawed but fascinating, and the parts where she's a child are particularly well done. See my review for Vulpes Libris at: http://vulpeslibris.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/all-the-things-we-didn’t-say-by-s... ( )Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. I was very much looking forward to reading this book and gathering further insight into the nature or nurture debate but was disappointed. The plot appeared so very engineered and never fulfilled the promise it offered when I first decided to request an Early review copy. We hear of the main character’s family and their secrets but I found it difficult to become engaged with her. It felt that despite her ageing in the story her character never came off the page so as to speak. Considering the potential of the secrets which are gradually revealed - to me this book never came to life. It was simply not a believable yarn.The design, choice of colour and texture of the cover is at great variance to the content of the story. This intrigued me and left me wondering why it was chosen … More importantly it added little to the book and in fact added to my frustration with the story.

Once I got into Summer's character I started to get into the story and the connections. These connections were complicated, emotionally, but by the time I got to the end of the book I realised my perseverance had been worth it.

It's quite a slow book and overall not a lot is said and done but by the end you get the authors point. I can't say that the characters grew on me but I had an inkling of the underlying story and I wanted to see if I was right. Not too taxing a read, good for Summer.

Although I thought the story sounded interesting, I really didn't like the writing style and thought the author plodded along awkwardly through the first few chapters.ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Emotional, issue-led fiction perfect for all fans of The Memory Keeper's Daughter and Jodi Picoult Tragedy came as if so often does: a teenage party, emotions running high, followed by a horrific car crash. A girl is left dead and a boy is forced to leave his home town, with a secret that he will carry with him forever... Years later, when Summer's mother disappears one summer, she is left with her father. Obsessed with an accident from years ago, he slowly descends into mental illness. And as he becomes more disorientated, he reveals small fragments of a secret that has been hidden since his youth, a secret that changes everything. Summer supports her father as much as she can but eventually realises that she has to escape. She finds refuge with her great-aunt, Stella. Feisty, fun-loving, and dying of cancer, Stella holds parts of the family secret. Slowly, things fall into place for Summer - or at least so she thinks... This is a story of the importance of family, of the damage a lie can do, and of how nothing is ever what it seems. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
