Title: Exhausting
Review: This book wrung out the last bit of energy and desire I have in me as a reader to read.The book gave me the impression that the writer invested hours in assembly of many of the sentences; in fact, most of the sentences. Who talks this way? Who thinks this way?I just finished it, five minutes ago, and I am exhausted. Exhausted from trying to understand the point of the book, and tired and bored with trying to understand how each word, sentence and thought associates with the ones before and after.It is a hard read and doesn't make you want more. Unfortunately, I purchased this book and Ancient Light together. I just read the first two pages of Ancient Light and guess what? The character is already talking about life as it occurred fifty years ago, along with the fact that he was in love with his best friend's mother. I don't know if I will ever have it in me to tackle this second book. It will take weeks before I can even think about getting to page three.
Is the review positive or negative?
