Hi everyone. I decided after a long time to give A Little Life a go, it has been in my to read list for ages with all these controversial comments I read about it. I’m 88 pages into it and I’m struck with how badly it’s written. Seriously, was that book even edited??? I mean there is no flow whatsoever in the narrative, the sentences are just thrown in there and sometimes I have to reread some of them over and over to make sense. I’ll keep reading it though because the story and the characters are quite encaging, but I can’t help myself thinking of what a masterpiece would that book be if it was written well. It’s a shame such a strong story to be spoiled by such a bad narrative. I’ll come back to this post when I finish the book, I hope I change my mind by then.
I don’t remember the writing style being bad. The story on the other hand oof….
