The Printed Page

Last Snow by Eric Van Lustbader has been sitting on my review shelf since February. Every time I went to reach for it my hand stalled passing it by for something else. Unusual for me as each time I reached for it I’d been in the mood for a thriller. Finally I decided it was time to stop messing around and see what the hesitation was about. The hesitation was all about a book that never caught my interest. First I felt I was missing too much background from First Daughter even though others will say that this book stands alone. Not so for me. Then I never really connected with the author’s writing style. Thinking I might give it another try I re-shelved Last Snow which is unheard of but I did. Its been sitting there another month now and I just don’t see myself picking it again so off to the library it goes. Another for the DNF pile – I know I read more than my 50 page rule but I don’t remember where I left off – oh well.
