More of Us to the West by Trinity DunnMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I could get past the narrator speaking to herself in italics. I could look over the shoulder of the sometimes ridiculous scenarios. I was even able to skirt the often offensive stereotypic characters. What I could not suffer, however, was the fact that this entirely too-long novel was, in the end, nothing more than chum—bait to sell the next episode. The conclusion was so insanely ridiculous as to have left me wanting to toss the whole lot straight in the pool. If I hadn’t been reading on my Kindle, the waterlogged volume would have then been summarily deposited in the fireplace, where, after drying out I would have incinerated it to ashes. Two stars for the fact that this author’s publicist managed to make this sound like a good read.
