Hello bookworms!
I have a book for you today that sounds
great but once you delve into its pages you may wish that you had left it on
the shelf. The book is A Matter of Class by Mary Balogh.
Summary:
A young man is from a rich
family. The only problem is that they are “new money”. This means that the “old
money” families do not really accept he and his father which bothers his father
very much. A young woman is from one of these old money families and has
recently had her reputation ruined. Seeing it as an opportunity, the young
man’s father betrothes his son to the young lady. Both are resentful of the
match, but not everything is as it seems with this young couple. As their story
unfolds, something happens that neither family saw coming.
Review:
This book had GREAT
potential. The plot was wonderful and the final twist was a complete shock!
Unfortunately, there are some things that cause me not to recommend this book
as a read. First, there is a character in the book that we as the read hear
some of his thoughts about a 12 year old girl that are extremely inappropriate.
It’s very much like looking into the mind of a pedophile. And it’s not really
necessary to the story. Second, there is a sex scene that is so graphic that it
borders on pornography. I’m afraid that since the book is so short, these
issues plus other suggestive events make the book not worth reading. I give it
0 bookmarks based on all the unnecessary scenes and statements that are made. I’m
sorry to have to say that I do not recommend this book to ANYONE.
