Book Review - The Rocks


The Rocks by Peter Nichols was annoying.  The premise was good, but the execution was very disjointed and disconcerting.

From the cover blurb -  What mysterious catastrophic event drove honeymooners Gerald and Lulu apart so suddenly and absolutely in 1948 that they never spoke again despite living on the same island?

Let’s just say, she is really annoying.  Gerald – I liked.  His kid is good and his intentions are fine. Lulu and her son, Luc……….really annoying. I kept reading, waiting for a redeeming moment……..and it never came. The back story – eh.  The front story – eh.  I bought this book on a half-price sale table and can’t say it was worthwhile.  I hate to give up on a book……….

No, don’t get this from the library or buy it half price

Just stupid
