br3nda 's review for:

The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
3.0

This book was okay. I was hoping it was 5 stars for me like it was for so many other readers. I took me a long time to get into the story just like is frequently mentioned in reviews. I put it down and picked it back up many times waiting for it to get better. The over use of brackets, especially at the beginning, was very distracting.
There were not any likeable characters through the book, which didn't help in keeping me interested. And there were too many parts that I questioned... like how do you plagiarize a plot? We never heard if there were enough details of the plot given to Jake for it to be close enough to be called plagiarism.
Overall the whole story was entertaining and interesting enough for me to give it 3 stars. If the first half was not as I listed above I may have given 4 stars but it was not going to be a 5 for me.
I do suggest that everyone who is interested read this book and see how they like it. It could be a 5 for you!

Thanks to Celadon Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
