Book Reviews of When Crickets Cry
Book Review: Awesome book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a lovely, heartwarming story with a defininte twist at the end. A must read!!Book Review: Good, but cliche character spoiled it a bit
Summary: 3 Stars
This author is obviously very talented. The book was dark and depressing so I can't exactly say that I enjoyed reading it, but it had it's moments of beauty. The only thing I absolutely hated about it was that the character of Annie was very poorly done. She was just too unrealistic to be believable. Small children in real life are not perfectly angelic, trusting, perceptive, thoughtful, unselfish, empathetic and wise. It's annoyingly cliche when authors pull out a child character named "Timmy" or "Annie" who is there for the sole purpose of pulling on our heartstrings with their angelic innocence. You just can't love a character who is so fake. That being said, the character of Reese and Charlie were fantastic and I loved the dynamic between them. The medical detail was also outstanding and made the book a fascinating read. If only that darn Annie hadn't ruined it.Book Review: If you can't end a book don't start one
Summary: 2 Stars
This book was an interesting, captivating page turner and I could hardly wait to find out the ending. Unfortunately the ending was a confusing,
unrewarding, empty let down that pretty much turned reading the book
into a exercise in futility. I would not recommend this book to anyone
who does a lot of reading. The best book I've read this year is Peace Like a River. Outstanding!
