A review by overlookingcovers
Inside the Walls of Troy by Clemence McLaren

2.0

No, I just can't. Ugh. I got this book from my local bookstore (Thank god, it only cost 50 cents.)I gave this book a review of 2/5 stars. The only thing that kept this book from receiving a 1, was because at some points of the story drew me in. The reasons why i didn't like this book was because things were left UNANSWERED. The author would talk about how someone ended up dead but not told by whom. Believe me, i reread parts trying to figure out who killed who. It only happened about 1 time towards the end of the book but still it drove me crazy. Also, the book wasn't very descriptive. I wanted to know what everything looks like and the landscape. But no! Next, i am a grammar Nazi and if you are like me, THIS BOOK ISN'T FOR YOU! OMG! I had such a hard time contrasting who was being compared because there were NO COMMAS. Lastly, the thing that drove me the most insane. I couldn't tell who was talking or when the girl would snap out of her visions. I thought she was still in her dream when she called Helen a whore, but when i reread it a few times, she said it right in front of Helen. That was a first impression.

Me: Hey you! Yeah you right there! You're a whore!
Them: ...
Me: Lets be friends!
Them: OK! Lets forget that you called me a whore the first time you saw me!

Thats basically what the books about. Just say yourself the time and effort. Don't get this book but if you really want to get the book, go to a used bookstore because its not worth all the money it would cost you.
