The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George {review}
*sigh* I wanted to finish this book, people. I really did. However, it was unfortunately, um...not exactly written from a Christian perspective. Now, I'm NOT saying that I only read "Christian books," because that is certainly not the case. However, this one was starting to get inappropriate, and I wasn't really comfortable with continuing to read it.
More's the pity, because it was very well-written. The prose was savory and cosy, and the story was even described as "a love letter to books". I mean, what could be better? A love letter to books, people! But something about it just wasn't sitting well with me. I was a little confused, as well, with the part of the storyline that was delving into sensuality. It didn't exactly make much sense. (Then again, it probably would have been explained had I finished the book.)
So, yep! That was my experience with this book. It was extremely well-crafted, but I didn't feel comfortable finishing it:-/
[I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.]
Huh, that's too bad you didn't like it enough to finish it. But I TOTALLY understand the feeling!
ReplyDeleteWell, technically, I LIKED it enough to finish it, I just…didn't feel comfortable so doing:-/ But yeah, it's a shame.
DeleteI get that too. :-/
