Book Review of The Red Tent

The Red Tent
reviewed Cliche passage stops me dead in my tracks. Never pick book up again. on + 2 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


I was had been looking forward to reading this book for months, but I stopped on page 11 after reading a phrase where Diamant leaves the story and talks directly to the reader writing, "If you believe that, you might also be interested in purchasing a magical toad that will make all who look upon you swoon with love."

I read a lot of books, some literary and some candy. If a writer is so blah, so unimaginative to fall back on that cliche I don't want any part of it. Not when there are so many funny, quirky, well-written books to read in this world.
