Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts

2.0

I really tried to wrap my brain around how to rate this.

This book has a really interesting idea - it's one that's been done before but it definitely has a different idea about it.

It tells three very different stories about 3 very different people and the week before an asteroid is expcted to hit earth and kill everyone.

Except, this really isn't the plot. The plot....is really three different plots. And they are so different and just jammed full of different people, places and themes. The start of the story is absolutely jarring and doesn't seem to make sense. I actually broke down and had to make notes to myself for every single chapter in every single day so I could pick the book back up and remember who was in which storyline.

And, I thought after I worked that all out - I'd have some really profound message. I thought, at the end, I would be really moved and really touched at these last tender moments.

Instead, I couldn't figure out what the point was. it just wasn't big enough or special enough for me to have so may headaches over the way it's written.
