First Book Review: Still House Pond

Still House Pond by Jan Watson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Jan Watson's Still House Pond was phenomenal. It was a little tricky to get into, but part of that might have been because I started it in a loud dining hall. Lol! However, once started, she threw many twists and turns at the reader. I was always wondering what would happen next.

One part of this book that not everyone likes, I've learned from reading other reviews, is that fact that the chapters alternate between the three main female character: Copper (the mom), Lilly (Copper's daughter), and Manda (Copper's "working girl"). I, however, thought after getting the hang of it and really figuring out the characters that this was a very smart way to write this book. Each of these women are very different, so it was nice to see the different perspectives. It made it a bit confusing in the beginning, but as I said once you get a firm grip of who each of the characters are and their relationships, it makes for a very entertaining read.

I will most definitely be looking into Jan's other books. I would highly recommend this to anyone!!

Here you go!! You all wanted book reviews, so here's book review number one! Please check this out, you will absolutely not be disappointed, I guarantee it.
