Not what you expected

I just finished "What Happened in Granite Creek" and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I'm normally an action adventure/scifi reader, but took a chance on this and didn't look back.  Kept my interest, lots of twists, and reminds me why I don't live in a small town :-)

I would recommend it, but don't have your heart set on the description. It was nothing like what I had expected, but still good.

Definitely not what I was expecting. The ending is a surprise and interestingly everyone i have talked to about this book feels strongly about whether or not they liked how it ended. I would recommend this book for a book club because you are going to get some interesting conversation. I am glad i read it but I was not ecstatic about it.

This was not what I expected.  It is about what to do if you get audited.  I was expecting it to be about setting up a home business and knowing how to maximize deductions.

It pays to read the description! It's NOT an old book with journal pages. It's an actual picture of what you see here. Nice but not AT all what I was expecting!

This book was not at all what I expected from the title. You will find endearing and surprising twists as you take this journey!

When I decided to read this book, I had expected a somewhat dark fairy tale. In a sense it is but maybe not in the way you would hope. The story centers on a teenage girl who disappears. 20 years later, she shows up on Christmas Day. Barely looking a day older than when she disappeared.

The story the girl spins is hard for anyone to believe. Most of the book is centered around her now much older family, her sessions of counseling that they have placed her in, and bits & pieces of the place she has been for the past 20 years. According to her, only 6 months have past. Is she telling the truth? Or is it all a lie or some sort of psychological trauma she is covering?

While the characters were interesting, the idea of the story even more interesting, the story sort of fell flat for me. I became more interested towards the end, hoping for something that would have made it all worth it. Unfortunately, it did not. All the loose ends were tied up but nothing that made me say wow. In a way you kind of expected it. I guess it depends on what you are expecting when you read this. Don't expect fairy lands or dancing unicorns. No rainbows or pixie dust. Not even of the gothic kind. This is really more of a story of broken hearts & lost loves with a little fantasy thrown in.

I was expecting a much different book than this. It really grabbed me though and I couldn't put it Dow. Worth a read!

Not really what I expected.  More of a picture book.  The one who read it said the language was difficult to understand.

Different and unexpected. Short. It is not a normal business book and makes you think about what you really want in life
