I watched the movie Temptation (1946) and wanted to see if I liked the book any better than the movie. Spoiler: No.
I didn't make it very far, so I'm not going to say much about the plot. A man who sees the best in people falls in love with a woman who has quite the reputation. His friend, a doctor, has been visited by this woman where she revealed things about herself, but he can't say anything due to doctor/patient privilege.
I put this one down after about 10%. It seemed like the author was getting paid by the word. For example, the woman goes to the doctor, and they have this confusing conversation where she repeats herself over and over. The doctor keeps giving her medical answers, and she isn't satisfied with that. I know she had an ulterior motive for being there, but it got tedious after a bit. I just have too many other books to read to waste my time on things like this. And yes, the woman was just as smug and irritating in the 10% I read as she was in the movie. It's a pass for me.
