Reviews for Hot Schemes

[blehner_4 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I'm not easily discouraged when reading a book, because I'm usually optimistic enough to go through with reading it to the bitter end in hopes it might turn out to be a worthwhile read after all. Yet Sherryl Woods' mystery novel must have been one of the most boring books I have ever encountered. And this genre should be thrilling and a page-turner, all the things this one is not.To be fair, the book is not really badly written and the text does flow quite smoothly, but the whole storyline revolving around an exploding boat and Cuban immigrants made my eyelids droop after a few pages. I'm not even blaming the premise. I blame the author. Things are happening, but in a very sluggish and far from captivating way. The cardboard-cut characters didn't exactly improve the story either. Thus, those 260 pages took me several days despite the fact that I am usually a fast reader. In short: That book provided me with more sleep than anyone could possibly need.
