2/5 stars What was that book about? I was not a fan. I wanted to love it, I truly did. But there were too many little side stories (even if they did all converge, it was too late, and I was lost). Just give me the one story where he is in the book. Maybe two stories. I started out with the Pirate who is in jail, and then it turns into this weird journey with metaphorical stories along the way. I think it's probably very hard to write a sophomoric book after the first one got such acclaim- the pressure to write an equal. But I think Ms. Morgenstern tried too hard and was a bit too fantastical and twisty. The concept of the writing got an A+, but the execution got a C. And minus some points for being a little too verbose. |
