Review:
I started reading 'The Three Day Affair' and was impressed with the innovative plot. I thoroughly enjoyed Kardos' writing style and the story read fluently and it was easy to get hooked on the story and characters. There was a good mix of humour, insightful characters and a strong story line. I would not say that the pace of the story was particularly fast but it was consistent and kept my interest, making me want to find out how it would end. The ending itself is the one disappointment of the book as I found that it was rather an anti-climax and a little too predictable. Whilst reading the book I kept trying to guess what had happened and why, fully expecting to be blown away by a spectacular twist at the end. However, this did not happen and it was only the great writing of this author that saved the book rather than the story itself. The story had a strange feel to it, at times it felt that nothing was happening and it was not moving forward yet because it was so well written, it did not feel that it was stagnating or slowing down. Overall though I did enjoy this book and will definitely be looking out for any future titles from this creative and promising author.
