I wanted to throw this book across the room. I didn't as it's a library book. Oh my goodness.
I liked the premise of the book. The story is told from
The books point of view. That grabbed my attention. It started off great. Then downhill it went.
I did not like any of the characters except Armin. I found Lena to be weak and thoughtless. And at times not to smart.
The story becomes long and drawn out. There is actually three different stories going on and at times even more. We see the author's, The professor's, the grandfather's and Lena's. They switch back and forth and often loose the books point of view.
What angered me the most ?? The ending. It takes to the very end for them to see what was buried many years ago. When they do, it seems they don't realize what was found. We the readers knew early on what it was and the why.
I hate to judge a book so harshly, this was just not a good book. Maybe if I liked the characters or the long drawn out story, I would have judged differently.
