The Masterpiece . . . I just finished reading The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers last night. This is my first time to read a book by this author. The novel is Christian romance and is set in the following California locations: San Francisco (Tenderloin District), Los Angeles, Topanga Canyon, Fresno, and Merced... mainly, with a few scenes in an unspecified Sierra foothills community.
Good: Christian inspirational message Characterization with backstories Complex plot - it stayed interesting throughout Page-turner Clear, easy-to-read writing style
Bad: A few unlikely events A few kissing scenes I could have lived without
