The Mirror Thief door Martin Seay

I'm gonna say I read it; I read about 100 pages and then threw it away. It is extremely rare for me to not finish a book I start, AND to throw it away rather than pass it along, but I found this one so tedious and amateurish--every character speaking in the same voice, for one thing--I felt it best to recycle into some other product rather than let it live on as a book.

Parts of this book were terrific. The first half of the book was great. Then........meh. Too bad. I read that this book was in the same league as Cloud Atlas. Not so much.

Couldn't really get into the story. I gave up after about 75 pages.

The Mirror Thief door Martin Seay

fiction (stories from different time periods sandwiched within each other a la "cloud atlas"). I read to page 180-something, then decided I didn't care about all of the stories' so called "suspenseful" missing details to bother reading another 400 pages. I found the author's tone (which changed from story to story) to be at times dry, at times impersonal--kind of an interesting way to impart a character's coldness or a period's atmosphere, but not effectively riveting for me.

note that this book did get some significantly good reviews, so if you like long sagas of interconnected stories, by all means check it out from your library.… (meer)
