A review by arkascha
Ripper by Isabel Allende

1.0

30 pages in and I cannot read any further. It is with great sadness that I have to abandon this book so early on after having looked forward to reading it this weekend. The main reason is probably my being so used to Allende's previous works that her first foray into the mystery/thriller genre just does not appeal to me after all. From the first, the writing felt flat, distant, and choppy, making me wonder who actually wrote this and why. To be fair, I should probably read at least half of the book before giving an opinion but I'm just too disappointed to spend any more time on Ripper.
