Chemistry Class
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. The actual story line is minimal and filled with, what I could only describe as, Chemistry lessons.
What will your next listen be?
Crime
What does Patience Tomlinson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Obviously an accomplished presenter .. not a lot to work with here though.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No
Any additional comments?
Disappointing and not at all as expected.
