Different Strokes for Different Folks
I received this books some long months ago through Net Galley. While its premise was intriguing, I was quite ill-enthused. First of all, now knowing what the cover looks like, it just adds to the disappointment. With my Net Galley copy, this was left to mystery, the cover back then being completely different than the final one. It does leave some mystery to it, which some readers might enjoy, but I felt as though it made it bland.
Moving on.
The cover coincidentally matches the feel this book has. Some parts are eventful, but the style of writing (like the title says, different strokes for different folks) left me with barely being able to finish this book. Honestly, some parts were like pulling teeth, and I just didn't think that the story flowed well for my liking. Sometimes the flow of a book can just ruin the story, even if it's a good one.
To each his own, and by no way would I judge anyone harshly for liking this book. Do I see this intriguing some or a quite large audience? Sure. Do I see this becoming a #1 Bestseller? Most likely no. But, that's my opinion, and maybe enough people will like it that I'll be proved wrong.
