Susan's Reviews > The Angel of 13th Street

First, let me say that I *loathe* cheating in books and IRL.

But... There actually was something in this book where that scene was not only closure, but a firm slamming of the door on that part of his life, nailing it shut, then erecting a cement wall in front of it.

No, I didn't like that scene, but I think without it, there wouldn't have been any fully moving on with the life that he wants now and forever.

I still really loved the series, so I wouldn't let that review stop anyone from giving the books a chance. But that's just my honest opinion. : )

I know what you mean, but I've read the scene (in the review) and such a scene at 71% is just not my cup of tea, no matter what the circumstances were at that time.
I could get over such a scene if this happened earlier in a story. I still wouldn't be okay with it, but I could maybe accept it for what it is.

I read the scene as well (in the book :)) and as unpleasant as it was - and it really was - it was not cheating in my book.
Still, there are way too many books out there for you to have to pick up something you would not be comfortable with. I guess we all have that 'don't touch' shelf we add books to for various reasons :)

I know a scene in a book can be totally different from what you've imagined. So maybe I'll try this in the future. Because the blurb still looks good.

Thank you guys for trying to reassure me, perhaps I will pick this up one day!
