31 Paradiso: A Novel door Rhoda Huffey
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I certainly might have liked this book a lot, I think there was potential. I like books that are a bit odd. But I had trouble getting into it. The choppy writing that jumped all over the place made me dizzy. I couldn't stay focused. I would check out newer books by this author, maybe but this one didn't do it for me. It's too bad because I loved the idea and the setting.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.31 Paradiso by Rhonda Huffey was frustrating for me to read. The main character was too much like my ineffective, disorganized mother for me to appreciate. Her reasoning never held weight for me. Her stubbornly and rigid religious, yet hypocritical, parents were too much like other members of my family to sympathize with. It was uncomfortable to read, too close to the reality I've tried to escape from.
Aside from that, I didn't think it was particularly well written. I was never able to care for any of the characters, not even the animals.
For me, this book was a disappointment.… (meer)

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I was sent this book in exchange for a review. Honestly, I really do not get this book at all. It was confusing to me and I'm not even sure what it was actually supposed to be about.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.Received the book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The writing style jumped around quite a bit and at times was hard to follow. The description of sexual and drug abuse was quite graphic. I did finish the book, but at times it was rough going trying to follow the storyline. I wanted to like the book, but found that it just wasn't for me.
