Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Drawn outI didn't find this luring enough to keep my attention. I did enjoy the first 60 or so pages, but then I struggled to finish this book. Maybe it was a case of too many characters and a drawn out build up for me, because the actual story content seemed so promising. Rating:  - Two dimensional charactersOk perhaps I did not give this a fighting chance....200 pages and two dimensional characters still being introduced just induced massive yawns in me and I gave up. There might be incredible twists and turns to the story but I am afraid I just did not have the stamina to get to them! This was my first and last Elizabeth Edmondson I am afraid! Rating:  - Amazing Story!I just finished reading "The Frozen Lake" and am still stunned by the twists I didn't see coming at the end of this amazing story! The author gives the reader very interesting + descriptive insight into all of the characters(and there are quite a few!)as the story progresses. Then the characters backgrounds and lives start to intertwine, and now you can't put the book down! This is the first book I've read by this author, but you can be certain I will be ordering more from Ms. Edmondson! Thank you so much for a super read! Rating: - frozen lakeThis is a rollocking good read. It is nostaligic but without being in any way cute about it and dispenses its historical knowledge with a very light touch. It also has a fantastically malign matriarch. I enjoyed the way a large cast of characters is gathered together at the beginning and then they all come together in the Lake District so we can see how they interact. As it progressed it exerted a vice-like grip and by the end I was reading this way into the night. Truly unputdownable. Rating: - Frozen LakeThoroughly enjoyed this book. The opening chapters took a little piecing together as so many characters were drawn into the plot, but it all made sense quite quickly. Eager to read any future novels by this author. |
