This month I chose to read The Beach House by Jane Green.
I actually picked up this book to read in December while I was vacationing in Daytona Beach, Florida. I did not have time to read on that trip and set the book aside. So while we are having cold weather it sounded like a good time to read about the beach.
I had a very hard time reading this book. It did not catch my interest. It was very easy for me to read a chapter and put this book down for days at a time. There were a lot of characters in this book and eventually they all had a connection at this beach house. I found the second half of the book held my interest more than the first half but I would not recommend reading the book. There are too many books to read so I would pass on reading this one.

It was really obvious you didn't care for the book, since I got no sense of what it was about other than a house on a beach. However, I fell in love with your collage. It was simply the perfect art, especially since I'm so fond of collage. Even an unloved book can be inspiring, as you have proven.
ReplyDeleteOh, a little house at the beach could be wonderful even while the weather is still freezing! Too bad the read wasn't that wonderful...
ReplyDeleteI really like your collage. It makes me long for warm summer days! ♥
I love your collage and the way you have married torn elements into a lovely meaningful whole that brings summer days to mind. I'd love to holiday there.
ReplyDeleteVery useful book review - it's always good to know which books to steer clear of. At least you didn't waste any precious holiday time on it.
The book may have been boring, but your collage is inspiring...needs me some sea air about now :D XXX
ReplyDeleteShame you didn't enjoy the book, but its good to still have an honest review, and I love the images you chose for your collage, especially the old weathered house.
ReplyDeleteLove the collage, think I will give this book a pass too.
ReplyDeleteA book with too many characters is difficult for me...I spend time trying to figure out who's who and lose my interest...however...your collage so accurately depicts 'The Beach House'...great!
ReplyDeleteSorry you did not enjoy this book. I like the art work it inspired though.

The book might not have been all that great but it sure inspired an awesome work of art. I can almost hear the words in the waves ;-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant collage, full of colour and movement. Shame the book was not up to much but you made up for it with your lovely artwork. Better luck next month.

Books that are put down and left for days at a time are a real let down. Even though your book was not brilliant your collage inspired by it looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove your collage, excellent!
ReplyDeleteI usually like Jane green books as easy reads but hadn't seen this one. Love your collage. Very dreamy!
