Several people said that it gets better when you get into it, but if a writer can write so well later in the book, then why not from the beginning?

I was thinking about trying Donna Leon again but the first one was not in at the library this afternoon when I was looking for an audiobook. The one I had by Emily Giffin was so bad I had to return it after one CD - I realized too late that it was a roman a clef about John F. Kennedy Jr and I was revolted that someone would try to make money from his ill-fated life.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-46240079836257008272022-08-27T02:02:23.725+01:002022-08-27T02:02:23.725+01:00I don’t think it matters really…the first one and ...I don’t think it matters really…the first one and Hamnet were my two choices of books in 2021 or maybe 2020…I read several hundred books a year for review for Netgalley…my daughter also gets the real books…mine are on iPad…I loved loved the first one and I loved the second one…not a series…two stand alone…enjoyBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045973181179400022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-61924177389810552862022-08-27T01:02:27.636+01:002022-08-27T01:02:27.636+01:00Another great lot of books.
