Review of 'Ripper' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This was my first experience with Isabel Allende, and I realize, a bit late, that I started with a novel that is not at all typical of the author. This is a mystery. Actually, this long story took its time letting me know that; there are so many characters, so many quick character sketches, and so many background stories, that I could not tell what the central story would be, or where any of this was headed. In my opinion, there was nothing realistic or believable in the plot. And it was simply too long, partly because some of the character descriptions and background information seemed to be unnecessarily--reinforced. Also, almost every cast member was off-the-charts unusual.

Perhaps I don't get out enough.

So, I would not recommend this one to my friends, but I will pick up another Isabel Allende novel, in the future.
