My Review - The Color of Light

Unfortunately, I could never get in to THE COLOR OF LIGHT.  I felt the author flooded you with a cast of characters that was difficult to keep straight.  I chose this book because it was listed as a romance book, but I was already 25% (Kindle version) into the book, when I went back to the book description to remind me who the romance would be between, since there was no clue to that point.  I was 33% into the book before the character of Jackie made a reference to Doug, showing the slightest interest.  This is the first books I was scheduled to read for review that I was unable to finish.  I just could not get into it.  I skimmed, looking for a spark between characters, but never found one.  Maybe this would’ve been better listed as women’s fiction instead of romance.  Being a third into the book without any real chemistry is not what I would consider a romance book.  But, don’t take my word for it.  If you are interested in books that highlight small town life and community, and are not looking for a sparks-flying romance, THE COLOR OF LIGHT could be for you.  I will try to finish the book, and if I come up with any new observations, I will repost a review.
