A review by kristelwyman
300 Days of Sun by Deborah Lawrenson

1.0

I truly can't overstate how bad this book really is. The writing is terrible and seems to be mostly comprised of filler. It's as if she wrote a short story and then stretched it out to a novel. It literally includes words that don't exist and words that are unnecessarily complex but infrequently enough that it is like Lawrenson picked a word at random and looked it up in a thesaurus. The plot is absurd and doesn't tie together well. She really seems to have tried to pick up every type of drama -- love, sex, kidnapping, violence, drugs, Nazis (that really hold a grudge -- for generations), murder, multiple aliases for nearly every character, poison, adultery... it is all way too much.

The only thing that got me through this horrific read was that I actually feel a moral obligation to stop others from reading it.
