In the Forest - Book Review

In the Forest by Edna O'Brien

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book started off attention-grabbing, but almost mid-way through took a turn for the worse. At that point, the initially, misunderstood main character lost my sympathy when he began to live up to the communitie's negative expectations of him. At this point the 2nd primary character was introduced and another 'story' seems to have begun. Unfortunately, when the two characters come together the whole story falls apart and one wonders what the point of it all was.

Currently reading, 'The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest' which is the third installment of the Steig Larson series. All books in the series are very good and flow together nicely. Some book series kind of miss a beat when one book ends and picks up again sometimes years later! I understand that they are all to be made into movies, just as the first one,  was. I haven't seen the first movie, 'The Girl With The dragon Tattoo' yet, but now that I've finished the book I'm okay with seeing it.
