Title: I cannot get through the writing style
Review: This is a very complex, interesting story. I give credit to the author for taking a subject that so many have written on and finding a new way to approach it.As one of the biggest projects in my undergrad work was based on interviews of immigrants into the US because of WWII, I had a special interest in this book.But, to my chagrin, I simply couldn't get into the story. Why, you might ask? The answer is simple. I cannot read this prose.There are no quotations around the dialogue.The tense and point of view switch almost whimsically.The writer has such a very strange style. I'm sure that she did this on purpose, to heighten the overall mood of the book. I simply didn't want to put that much effort into reading it.If you're a pedestrian reader, like me, this is probably not your cup of tea.(*)>
