Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou! I felt like the only one who hated this! This and the Life of Pi for somewhat similar reasons as I can’t stand when an author thinks they have this brilliant plot twist and it reads so smugly as if their intelligence is twice that of the readers. I also hate when people think that using something as horrific as war/ concentration camps/ horrific violence as some kind of interesting or novel way to make their twist more poetic/ juicier/ avant- guard…. And it shows that they have never really undergone anything close to resembling hardship in their lives and have a sort of rubbernecking at a roadside fatality to gossip about what they saw later with glee vibe.
