3 to 3.5 Stars

I am struggling with reviewing this one. For general fiction it was quite different than other general fiction I have read. I had high hopes after reading Moore’s The Unseen World, but maybe going in with high expectations was a detriment to my experience with Heft.

There are some interesting characters, but I kind of feel . . .

And, the story is intriguing and well written, but when I stop to think about it . . .

Then, when it comes to the whole point of the story, the resolution, the big climax . . .

So, are you going crazy yet that I have not finished any of my thoughts? That is how Heft left me feeling. So much great build up! So many great characters! Lots of awesome development along the way! But, then . . . nothing much really . . .

I wanted more! I needed more! Sometimes when you read a book and you are left hanging or to guess what is next, it is okay. You feel good having to imagine what happens next. To me, this just felt unfinished.

If you are okay reading a good book that doesn’t really go anywhere, you can check this one out. Many others did not feel the same as me and have rated this one 5 stars. Maybe that is the experience you will have. However, I am thinking it might be best if you . . .

Brandice Nice review, Matthew! I’m still on the fence about this one.

Thanks, Brandice! My review probably didn't help you off the fence! :)

Janice Boychuk I've had some books like that - can't write a review because I just don't know where to start!

Yeah - I had to sit on this one after I finished it because I just couldn't figure out a way to review it!

Ain't it the truth!? 🤣 Thanks, Pat!


The Dusty Jacket I totally agree! I was a bit more generous and gave it four stars, but that feeling of..... So many questions and not enough answers. This was definitely a difficult review to write. Thank you for sharing my angst. Sometimes you're just not sure if what you are feeling about a book is spot on or just out in left field somewhere.
