Kris’s Reviews > Improbable Women: Five Who Explored the Middle East > Status Update

What do you think of the book so far? Do you like it?

The stories of these women are fascinating, and the research is fine, but I'm not a fan of the writing style. It's pretty sensationalized and breathless in places, kind of rough around the edges. I'm just 1/3 of the way through it, though, so we'll see if it improves.

Thanks for the info. I'll wait to see what you think of it as a whole but so far it sounds ok. Bad or bland writing can be annoying though.
