Everybody is becoming a fan of John Marrs these days and it’s definitely well deserved, so we are all bound to revisit his earlier work at some point. But I do think that it should have stayed in the past. The Vacation is a good book, especially as one of Marr’s earlier releases, and it certainly showcases his writing talent. Had it been cut down by 100 pages, I wouldn’t haven’t grown so tired of the story and been able to appreciate the characters much more. And then I realised that the book is 496 pages long, which is just too much for a book like this. However, I did feel like the story was really dragging at various points. There were two characters that I especially felt connected to, but I could picture them all quite vividly which isn’t something all authors can do very well. And just for a little while, their lives become entangled.Īs with most of Marrs books, there are a lot of characters to get used to (maybe just a few too many this time), but he describes his characters so well that it doesn’t take long to get to know them all. Multi-layered and character-driven, The Vacation is a well-developed story about a large group of characters whose paths meet by accident.
