bougainvillea's review against another edition
2.0
Definitely an interesting story, but so overwritten. Every noun needed three adjectives. Every verb had to have two adverbs. It was exhausting and confusing. The thing is the story is dramatic enough that it did not need so much stylistic embellishment. Another example of a book in need of good editing. Where have all the good editors gone?
I found it interesting that the author describes her abusive father in such detail and dedicated the book to him. I know he died, but I wonder what her family thinks of the book. Not a criticism, just a thought.
