Biting the Moon, by Martha Grimes - A Book Review

This is my first ever book review.

I wish I could tell you that I liked this book, but I found it very.... unsatisfying.

The tale was initially reviting, and it held until about 3/4 of the way through, then the characters started to become too fantastic, too dream like and unbelievable. Everything started working out perfectly, no glitches, no hesitation.

The ending left me wondering if they were saving something for a sequel, because I really didn't feel any closure.

There were many situations that I simply said, "OH yeah right"

It's too bad that the novel didn't still with the theme of the first portion. I don't know if I didn't like that the main character never finished anything or the author intended for me to be uneasy. By the end of the book, I was tired of being uneasy and waiting for some comfort or closure or final disaster.... instead it just kind of petered off.

Biting the Moom wasn't a terrible book, but I can't say that I enjoyed it. It took about 1 day to read, mostly because I seemed to be waiting for something to happen.... that never did.

Excerpt from the back of the book: "She didn't know who she was -- or where she came from. But one morning she awoke in a strange bed-and-breakfast with a message that her "daddy" would soon return from Santa Fe. Fearing the worst, this nameless young woman disappeared into the wilderness. She christened herself Andi Oliver, from the initials on her backpack, and lived int he mountains -- utterly alone. Until she met mary Dark Hope, a girl who shared her loneliness and confusion. Together, they vowed to track down the one person who held the key to Andi's identity: The stranger who abducted her"
