Funny yet shaky book
Full of ups and downs, goods and bads, this book seems to hurt itself as much as it helps itself. Blending hysterical scenes of the nuns outrageous antics and then bogging down dialogue and narrative with dry classics references, the book has a good foundation, but it's structure is shoddy. The story itself is fun and funny, but some sections just make you feel confused and needing to reread it. The sisters are given intricate backstories that are then just shrugged at in passing. While it has great humor in some scenes, others just drone on and on on subjects that don't seem to contribute to the story. The pacing of the story reflects this. The pacing can be quick paced satirical gold, in other places it's choppy and jumping scenes, other places it just drags. The story, even in it's satirical nature, takes a few points to extremes that even under the fun of satire seem to stretch my willing suspension of disbelief. The book is, as the stars indicate, okay, could be better could be worse.
Not worth the effort
The book might have bee irreverently funny except for the author`s overuse of trying to show his extensive vocabulary. It made reading it way too ponderous and tedious. I skipped more than I read which is something I have never done with any book I have ever read.

This book is terrible. I tried to read it but became so disgusted that I deletedit from my Kindle before finishing the second chapter.. I ordered it accidentally and I sure wish I could get my money back. In my opinion it wasn't worth reading if it had been free!

I was not very impressed with this book. It was not one of my favorite books. To busy telling about all the mischeavous things the Three Sisters were doing while growing up. It was not a flowing book to read.
The Three Sisters
Had no idea what the book would be about after seeing the cover. But found it very interesting, you never knew what would be happening around any corner. It was an easy read but also deep in sections of it. So it keeps you very captivated. Would highly recommend it.
