Very disappointed with this one

I made it through 'part 1' (not realizing it was written in 'parts')

When I started 'part 2' and realized it is going back in time to explain the childhood of Paris etc, I knew I didn't want to continue reading another 'before/after format story

I'll say this though, it isn't a thriller, there are no surprises as you'll have it figured out once you start part 2 and then it's just a backstory that just gets into nothing but boring

FYI
Okay, here's the thing with me---I read so many books that it takes an author to write a really good story to keep me interested and I'm very picky these days about the format of the story and if I can make it to 100 pages and still be interested, so for the people that can pick up a book and read anything no matter the storyline and give it a 5* rating then more power to you but I'm not that kind of reader so when I give a book a 5* rating then it has to be a very good book
