I read Cindy Holby's Angel's End before I went into surgery in May and really enjoyed the book. But I didn't start writing the review until I was recovering in June. Turns out that writing a review when on drugs didn't help my reviewing at all. Or so my husband, who edits my reviews, says.
I guess I'm just not a Charles Bukowski or Hemingway type writer who can ingest copious amounts of drugs--either solid or liquid--and write a lucid sentence. In fact, after the first attempt, my husband's question was "Did you like the book or not? I can't tell." Oops! That's bad for a reviewer. If the reader can't tell on a basic level what the reviewer thinks, then the review fails in a big way.
While I'd like you to read the review that's posted on AAR today, I will say that my bottom line was that I liked the book very much. And as I say there, I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
