How about a chance to play editor-in-chief? Fill in the blanks:
__________ would have been a much better book if ______________________
Okay, I’m completely stumped by this week’s question. I can recall recall two books of the which endings should be rewritten: Bel Canto by Ann Patchett and The Eygptologist by Arthur Phillips. After the traumatic encounter with these two books, I haven’t made further attempt to read either of them.

I wasn’t fond of Bel Canto because of that ending! On the other hand I loved Year of Wonders even if the ending didn’t sit too well with me. I have read another Ann Patchett book and found it interesting.
“Murder on the Rue Dauphine” by Greg Herren would have been a much better book if not written at a second-grade reading comprehension level. And if it weren’t chock full of gay clichés.
Was that a bit too harsh?
I liked the ending of The Egyptologist. It made up for the slog in the middle. Happy BTT.
This question stumped me, too.
