by Alison ClementI'm trying this new thing where I don't criticize others because it probably doesn't do much good so I'm going to have to be as diplomatic as possible about Twenty Questions. Actually, that probably says it all right there. I didn't love it.
Twenty Questions tells the story of June who was offered a ride by a man, which she refused, who she later learned went on to kill another women he offered a ride home that day. Her simple life is thrown into turmoil and a tangled web is woven.
The book is written in a simple manner with simple diction and short sentences from the third person perspective of June, leaving the reader with the impression that June is quite the simpleton and thus not very likable. I would have not been able to go on reading but at about page 90 something sordid occurred, and what can I say? I love the sordid. I finished the book rapidly but I'm not sure if that was because I was really intrigued or I just wanted to get it over with and move on. Probably a little of both.
General consensus: Not my favorite book.
