Yeah....

Zen and Gone really didn't do it for me.
At all.
I know it has gotten rave reviews but wow, there was really nothing that drew me into this book.  I had to struggle to finish.  Ugh.   I am so sorry!  I hate writing that!  I know that Ms. France has to be talented and I don't fault her writing at all, but the story was just so not me.
I do want to read Signs of You though because her writing was really good.  I do hope that a different person narrates it though.  To me the narrator's voice sounded SO much younger than Essa was supposed to be. 
Also I think I hated this book so much because of the mother.  The mother was just awful, awful, awful.  And I just don't think I could get past that.  So the one star isn't a reflection upon the quality of the book, just my feeling on how it made me feel.
