My Thoughts: This is the first time I've read a book full of dialogue with no character or scene descriptions. The plot slows when an author takes up too much time describing scenes or telling me things that do nothing to advance the plot. However, not reading hardly any descriptions, kept me from immersing myself in the story. I felt like an outsider listening to talking heads.
The premise of the story was interesting enough, but I was disappointed I didn’t know how anything looked. When Jake comes on the scene, we get his description, but the book is halfway through. Reading a couple of German-Dutch words here and there wasn’t enough for me to get a feel for the Amish people and the setting.
