A Minor Inconvenience

This is a book that I originally DNF'd at around 50 pages - and I can't figure out why because the first 60 or so pages were really good. Unfortunately, I thought it took a strong and sudden nosedive at the 30% mark. My major complaints here are the suddenness of the romance - pretty much instalove - the lack of attention to the plot - which was about a spy for Napoleon and so much more interesting than the romance - and our single perspective character - Hugh, who was increasingly obsessed with Theo and quite the little hypocrite and very, very unaware of...everything around him.

All in all, a solid 2.5 star read rounded up because 1) it was a quick read and 2) wonderful women in the story.



DNF - PG 53

Why?

Because I put the book down last month and have no interest in picking it back up. Because the main character is an oblivious flake. (Mostly the former though, so I could conceivably head back to it if I ever get interested again.)
