"Good story, unbelievably repetative"
As capturing as I found the story, I also found myself wondering how many times and in how many different ways the author could say the same things over and over again. It was as though she had a quota to fill where a specific number of pages had to be used to complete the novel. For me, it was a distraction to what otherwise was a very good story.
The story was good enough to carry the day. Simply eliminate the repetitive fluff
I thought the reader was excellent. I felt I was observing the story unfold without concious thought as to the telling of it.
The only other thing that would have made the story better for me [and its only a personal feeling] would have been to have the character of the selfish,controling husband reconciled to the justice we would all like to see for such people. Just a thought...:)
