July Book Review #7

Book: The Patchwork Planet by Anne Tyler
Age-range: 16 and up
Recommended: No

I have no idea why I even bothered to finish this book.  I just kept waiting for the plot.  There was none that I could discern.  The character ended being the exact same person he had been at the beginning.

Although, it did reinforce a lot of writing information I've received.  Always have a likable protagonist; have a "problem" the story has to solve; take your character on a journey so they are transformed into a different person by the end of the book.  This book did none of these things.

Also, the title was completely misleading and had absolutely nothing to do with the story!
