Joanne Harris - The Strawberry Thief


Rating: 3/5

Review:
Not for me

I’m afraid this wasn’t for me. I recognise that it’s a matter of taste and not that it’s a bad book, but I really couldn’t get on with The Strawberry Thief.

Part of the problem may be that I haven’t read any of its predecessors, so picking the story up when it is so far advanced is likely to be difficult, but I also found the style twee and rather cloying. I read as much as I could take, but I gave up as I wasn’t enjoying it at all.

I have given this three stars even though I didn’t like it because I recognise that it is well written in its way, so less would be rather unfair but personally I can’t recommend it.
