The Bee Sting review
The Bee Sting
Long, and I did not want it shorter.
8/104.4 / 5
The Bee Sting is long, and the reviews are honest about the first fifty pages. Some nearly stopped. The ones who stayed are glad, and they say so at a length that suits the book. I did not want it shorter.Readers mention a family, a town, and a structure that changes as it goes. They also mention the commitment. This is not a commute chapter. It is a book you give a week. If that sounds like a threat, trust the reviews that bounced off it. If it sounds like a good week, trust the ones who stayed.
£12
For
- Worth the length.
- A family story that earns the pages.
- I did not want it cut.
Against
- The opening is slow.
- It asks for a week, not a journey.
- Not the book if you like short chapters and a twist.
