Many paired teams join together to be on a scavenger hunt reality show that travels the world. A couple teams are the main focus - one being a mother/daughter team and another a husband/wife team.
Ohhhh, I love me some reality TV, but I think it stops there because in written form it fell short. I never connected with any of the characters nor their individual stories. It just didn't work for me.
That's too bad about this one. The premise sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteBummer. I read this author's first book (Dive From Claussen Pier, I think) and thought it was pretty good. Of course, I don't remember too many of the details (and it was pre-blogging days), but I think I'll skip this one based on your review.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on this one if it ever pops up on my radar screen.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that I've missed several of your posts..where have I been???
Literary Feline ~ Sure did! It's ratings are fairly high if I remember correctly, so it's probably just a me-thing.
ReplyDeleteLes ~ I thought I read The Dive From Clausen's Pier too, but just looked it up and I didn't. Also, it's written by a different author, Ann Packer. I read something about a dive from a pier. ???
Staci ~ I'm glad and thankful that you take the time to comment/visit at all. Don't feel bad if you miss any. :)
