Hmm

I was hesitant to read Autumn due to the writing style - more “prose” than traditional writing. I found that when I read this book I did not want to put it down, but shortly after I finished the book I had difficulty really remembering the plot. I think it is an easy and enjoyable read but that the story itself is not terribly compelling.
