THE TELL (Hester Kaplan) - September 15/16

Holy hell was this a slog to get through. This might be one of the most overwritten books I've ever read, and it was a challenge to go from page to page with this thing. The bones of the story are fine - the characters are decent and the subplots are interesting - but Kaplan obliterates any interest with her completely unreadable style. * out of ****
