Loading... Rescue: A Novelby Anita Shreve
Audio. Okay captured my attention, but not the best I've ever listened to. A light read for those times when that's necessary. (  ) espref | Apr 16, 2013 |  I just finished reading Rescue by Anita Shreve, and although a quick read, I don't think that I will remember much about the novel an hour from now. The characters weren't particularly likable and the story-line needed much more plot development. For the most part, every sentence was written with the same format..."Webster said..." "Webster did..." "Webster thought..."; it was quite distracting. It was a story that didn't live up to its potential. (  ) 2LZ | Mar 21, 2013 | I could not get attached to this book. I just didn't click with the characters and have other things I want to read more. I did not finish it, but will maybe return to it at some other time. ( ) PriscillaM | Jan 26, 2013 | I first heard of Anita Shreve when one of her books was chosen during the early days of the Oprah book club. I found her books different, and that was a good thing. Different writing and interesting plots used to be her hallmark. This book hit those marks, but was a little too shallow and brief to be truly interesting. The characters' motivations were never fleshed out. The plot was a bit thin. I'd still give another of her books a try, but hopefully one that had a little more time to percolate.
