Title: Creative take on love that will leave you wanting more
Review: I have read all of Jonathan Safran Foer's work. When I finished his last book, I started to wonder what his wife's style was like. I picked up "History of Love" and found it is pretty darn similar! They write in almost identical styles using the same post-modern conventions. While I prefer Foer, Krauss brings her own charm to the literary world. The book is at times confusing. There are three separate narratives woven together, yet at times they are ambiguous. The details can be difficult to pin point. I am still struggling to piece it all together. As I read through the book, I found myself longing for the real "History of Love" that we only get snippets of in the novel. I think Krauss should go back and write the actual "History of Love" the characters continually refer to in the book.
