About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Budapest HouseThe Budapest House by Marcus Ferrar
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library from Barnes and Noble.
I was disappointed in the structure of this book because it confused me when it told more stories than those of Frances and her family. It contains stories from the writer, from George Soros, and from other people, and when it tells those stories I was confused by that person using familiar terms: whose Grandfather without using the name of that individual. Why does this story not end when she sells the Budapest House?
Scholars may find this book useful, in their search for details about these periods of history in Hungary; but it is not for a reader looking to be entertained.
