Review: Chance

Chance by Kem Nunn
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I have this habit of going into bookstores when there is an offer on, only to find myself short one book to get said deal. This regularly results in my scanning the shelves until something grabs my attention. Kem Nunn’s Chance is one such book. It sounded interesting enough, and I thought I’d give it a try.

Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where I wish I’d picked something else instead. There was plenty of potential with Chance – there were so many things introduced to us throughout, numerous elements I should have enjoyed – yet I found myself disinterested for the majority of the book. I kept waiting for something big to happen, for something good to grab me, only to find myself disappointed by what I was given. There was a short period of time where I thought things may have gotten good, where my rating moved up to a two-star rating, yet the book quickly fell back to the one-star standard I experienced throughout.

It simply didn’t do anything for me. I did not like the characters; I was not sucked in by what was supposed to be the thriller element; I felt as though nothing really happened. With there being so many elements introduced, something should have grabbed me, yet nothing did.

I really did want to enjoy this one, but in the end, I was just glad when it was over.
