A wonderful idea for a book, my girlfriend picked it up in the local library as she has an interest in this sort of thing. I volunteered to read it to her in the evening and discovered, to my horror, that this intriguing concept was ruined by a tedious repetitive writing style that meant that reading a chapter felt torturous. It certain put my girlfriend to sleep. I kept having to check that I hadn’t nodded off myself and slipped back a page the writer repeated details so much.

Suffice to say I didn’t get beyond the second chapter and the book has since gone back to the library to waste the time of some other unwitting victim.

I’d be interested in any similar books with a more seductive writing style that people might be able to recommended.
