The Never Open Desert-Diner Review
Author: James Anderson
Title: The Never-Open Desert Diner
Rating: 1/5 ( I think this is the lowest rating I have ever given a book).
Synopsis: Ben Jones lives a quiet, hardscrabble life, working as a trucker on Route 117, a little-traveled road in a remote region of the Utah desert which serves as a haven for fugitives and others looking to hide from the world. For many of the desert's inhabitants, Ben's visits are their only contact with the outside world, and the only landmark worth noting is a once-famous roadside diner that hasn’t opened in years. Ben's routine is turned upside down when he stumbles across a beautiful woman named Claire playing a cello in an abandoned housing development. He can tell that she's fleeing something in her past — a dark secret that pushed her to the end of the earth — but despite his better judgment he is inexorably drawn to her. As Ben and Claire fall in love, specters from her past begin to resurface, with serious and life-threatening consequences not only for them both, but for others who have made this desert their sanctuary. Dangerous men come looking for her, and as they turn Route 117 upside down in their search, the long-buried secrets of those who've laid claim to this desert come to light, bringing Ben and the other locals into deadly conflict with Claire's pursuers. Ultimately, the answers they all seek are connected to the desert’s greatest mystery — what really happened all those years ago at the never-open desert diner?

My Thoughts: I don't have anything to really say about this book. I got this book in March and I have been trying to finish it since then but I just can't. From the synopsis I thought that it was something that I was going to like but it was really disappointing when every time I tried to read it I almost died of boredom. I just wish the book was a little better so that I could at least finish it but I'm not going to waste anymore time trying to finish this book because I'm trying to keep away from the reading slump. Plus this book was putting me deeper and deeper into that hole and now I don't even want to look at books. (The reason there hasn't been that many reviews). I'm not trying to be rude or anything. The book probably gets better but I just couldn't spend another minute reading that book.

If you have read this book and you enjoyed it, let me know I might consider trying to read it again.
