The Swim Club by Anne de Lisle

([personal profile] sasha_t Apr. 22nd, 2011 01:30 pm)
Title: The Swim Club
Author: Anne de Lisle
Number of Pages: 300ish
Genre: Fiction
Book Number/Goal: 5/20 in one year
My rating: 1/5

Review: Had to read this one through Book Club. A feel-good story about life and the friendship that forms between women. The writing style was too simplistic to hold my attention in a genre I have no interest in. And it was way too predictable. And nothing happened till after 200pages. Deals with issues we all live out in every day life; but the author was incapable of using the right language to capture me emotionally.

Yawn - pass on this one.

Name: [personal profile] sasha_t
Goal: 20 books in 2011
Definition of "book": any hard/papercover 'book' over 250 pages, fiction or non-fiction, re-reads count
Books read so far: 0

A little about my goal and my reading habits: I love reading - it allows one to enter new worlds and broaden their own perceptions, but I just don't put aside enough time to do it. As part of a new goal to start writing creatively, I think this community presents the perfect challenge to further inspire and motivate me. 20 books is a small challenge compared to my fellow community members, but it is attainable. :)

I belong to a local book club, so 10 books will be chosen by others, the rest will be chosen by me. I look forward to being inspired by other members' reading experiences.
