Interesting story with an ending that didn’t disappoint

[John Lyman · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book seemed promising and interesting at the start. Possibly the fact that a main character was named "Zita" piqued my interest. As it developed it seemed very rote and uninteresting. Some parts seemed like lists intended to make the book longer. The last few chapters seemed even worse, just sentence after sentence with little to draw interest. The author obviously has a strong handle on Catholic terminology, which I don't, so I was left in the dark, forgoing the desire to take out a dictionary to discover the meaning of religious terms that matter not to me. Funny how one of the main characters/victims was born on my birthday. The amazon.com reviews were right, this book is really not worth reading.
