I just didn’t gel with this book as much as I expected to, as I’d heard rave reviews. There wasn’t anything necessarily anything wrong with the book or the writing I just didn’t leave with the need to recommend it to everyone and anyone but I think this is more just my own personal taste - as I say, I can’t fault it, I just don’t feel strongly about it.
