Review 1:
The book wasn't bad. The writing and the plot is just so bland and I'm bored to death.
I may come back sometime later but for now, I'm moving on.
Review 2:
An absolutely BREATHTAKING BEAUTIFUL READ!!! A Pound of Flesh by
Sophie Jackson was an utterly addictive read that captured and gripped my heart from
the opening pages. There are not enough of words to describe the magnitude of how
beautifully epic, profound, stunning, gripping and touching this book was. In this
beautiful tale, Ms. Jackson was able deliver a forbidden tale that will forever stay
with me. A POUND OF FLESH is an unforgettable read that was tangible, euphoric,
palpable, and illuminating. A book that is not only a LOVE STORY but a story that
speaks volumes of LOVE, HOPE, FORGIVENESS, REDEMPTION, SALVATION,
HEALING and SECOND CHANCES.
