The Kept (boring...)

The Kept by James  Scott
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was an Amazon First Reads book, so we got it for free. Well, you get what you pay for, right? This book had an interesting concept, but was poorly written & developed. It dragged & dragged, on & on, without much plot or really character development. At times, it would sputter and seem to come to life, only to fall flat again and become boring & dull. There were often sections that shifted imperceptibly from the present to the past, not always clearly, making for some confusion in the time/context. I think it could have used an editor and more rewriting. Read this aloud--well, my wife did, on her iPad, in the evenings. We both were anxious for it to end, which it finally did, rather disappointingly. What? That's it...after all that?
