Book Review:The Cliffs

 

I am generally a fan of J. Courtney Sullivan, but I gave up partway through Friends & Strangers and I may have only made it through this one because it was audio.

I would say it was well-written and held my attention, but the subject matter wasn't that appealing. It's not quite a ghost story, but it does get a little woo-woo. And even as someone who leans left politically, I found it pretty preachy.

The long stretches of historical information were interesting, but it might be more appropriate for parents trying to sneak educational lessons to  younger readers. The characters seemed less like real people and more like vehicles to transmit various bits of nonfiction research the author wanted to pass along.
