As a busy Mum of 3 kids, I just don't have the time that I would like to read as much as I want to. However, I have just signed up to LoveReading and now have the opportunity to review books that have not actually been printed. I finally finished reading River of Destiny and my review that is also live on their website http://www.lovereading.co.uk/ is as follows:
This genre of book is not my usual choice, however I am
keen to broaden my range of fiction and the notes on the back of the book
intrigued me.
It did however take quite a while for me to get into the
story. I'm also not a sailing fanatic and really not into boats at all, so
I thought the constant river/boat/sailing referrals and specific
descriptions were quite tedious. What's more, it wasn't one of those books
where I couldn't put it down and thought that I couldn't wait to read some more,
in fact I found it quite challenging to get through.
Nevertheless I was pleased that I did as it was a good
read and the way the book moved from one time line to another was very clever.
The intertwined characters through history were incredible, although I was a
little let down by the ending.
I would score this book 5/10.
