Redheads
Redheads have always attracted attention - desired, envied, pitied, disliked, ridiculed, even persecuted. But when the mysterious Dr Neferatu makes his appearance, the sacrifices begin. Against a background of magnificent Scottish Neolithic monuments dedicated to the sun and the moon, flame-headed journalist Rebecca Burns and astrophysicist Dr Jim Cavendish are drawn into an ancient feud ...a feud that threatens the very existence of redheads everywhere.

So this book - I have to admit that the reason I chose to enter for the giveaway because it actually looked quite interesting, and I liked the cover. I'm not going to lie, I did.
It took me a while to get into this book- The writing style wasn't to my taste. In my opinion there was too much dialogue where it wasn't really needed and could be avoided. I couldn't find myself getting into the character of Rebecca, Usually I like to be able to sympathies with the character, But I just couldn't bring myself to it. The characters had background, but I didn't see myself feeling bad for them, so in retrospect, I don't think it was all delivered right.
This is solely my opinion.
The story line in it self was interesting of sorts, but I found I was bombarded with information and just keeping up with it was sort of a mission in itself. Half the time I found myself skimming through the book, to just get it over and done with, but at the same time I had really wanted to know what the hell was going on, I just wanted it to be done with. It has taken me weeks to complete this book, and just because I just wasn't drawn into it for the first hundred odd pages.
Though I found this book interesting, I don't like to read books where it is forced. Though, I would recommend this book to redheads, I am pretty sure they will get a kick out of it, though you will have to force your way through the first hundred pages.
In conclusion, this book just wasn't for me, But if your into redhead mythology, go for it.
That is all I have to say and I apologies to the author,because I couldn't give him a great review. I like to be honest and in all honesty, I believe he has worked very hard on this book. That is evident, but again - It just wasn't for me.
Many blessings,
Benny
