Krista C. (kacey14) - reviewed Susannah's Garden on 3/9/2009 + 47 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

While most of Debbie Macomber's books are nice little stories that keep me interested -- this one was just down-right depressing. I didn't like any of the characters. They just seemed so whiney and gutless.

There wasn't much to keep me interested, but I still kept plugging away hoping that it would get better. It never really did. I wanted to shake Susannah's daughter "Chrissy" more than once. Sheesh, how could one character be so whiney and spoiled? Moreover, why would I want to read pages and pages about that character flaw? I wanted to tell Susannah to just let Chrissy make her choices and suffer some consequences. Talk about a self-induldged child!

I generally recommend Debbie Macomber's books, but this one I would definetly WALK ON BY. Don't waste your time on this. It doesn't really add any nuance to the other stories set on Blossom Street. You will be saving a hours of your life that could be better spent in say ... even WEEDING YOUR OWN GARDEN ... rather than reading this book. (And I really don't like weeding in my garden!)
