About book 12.21 (2012)

Well, that was pleasantly surprising. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I would love to just read a story about the ancient Mayan Paktul. Dustin Thomason wrote a very compelling point of view with the flashbacks.The book steered clear from a final violent showdown - there were no guns blazing but there were deaths. I thought the ending was rushed and also the romantic relationship seemed forced.Three stars for the beautifully written memoirs of Paktul. I think Thomason will do well with literary fiction than a cheap flight read. I wasn't sure what to think of this book. I had only read it because I was trying to finish my 13 books in 2013 challenge. I think when I was making the challenge, I was really struggling to find the last book until this popped up. It was certainly a lot different from what I would normally read, however it did not live up to my expectations. However I did find it quite an easy book to read as I did finish it quite quickly. I don't think that this type of book would have been aimed at me but I'm sure loads of other people would enjoy it a lot more than I did.
