I personally did not enjoy this book. It came highly recommended at the time and I see a lot of people love it, but it was just too confusing for me. If I didn’t watch the movie, I would have had a very different idea of the story.

For me it just jumped around too much and I couldn’t follow who was narrating at any given moment. It also did nothing to stimulate me emotionally or philosophically. I thought about putting it down several times, but I try to always finish what I start.

For those of you who love this book, what do you love about it?

    Wish I could upvote more than once! I really love looking back at this novel with an adult context (first read the book at 17)! I can see the themes of breaking cycles of abuse better now than I could then. I suspect this is a novel that only gets richer with understanding the more you read it and if you read it at multiple times in your life. Off to start a new read through now lol!
