"The Promised World"

Author: Lisa Tucker
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Simon and Schuster, 2009
Pages: 336
My Rating: Do Not Recommend.

I just could not get into the storyline and plot of The Promised World.

Synopsis (book jacket): A provocative novel about a woman whose seemingly perfect life unravels when her twin brother commits suicide after he is accused of child abuse.

Review: I don't think much about this was "provocative". It was tedious to read - both in subject matter and writing style. In the back of my mind I felt like I was wasting my time as I was reading. By the time I finished it, I knew that I had [wasted my time].
