Reviews for Coffin and the Paper Man
10 ratings1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Many writers revel in producing immensely convoluted plots that go through intricate hoops and twsits before offering a pleasing denouement. However, to do so and retain the reader's attention and interest requires a level of skill that Ms Butler seems to lack. I found this book simply annoying and utterly unenjoyable.
