everything i’ve heard about this book has been that it’s the “greatest literary work of all time” or other extreme raves on the genius of the story. i didn’t hate the book, but i definitely didn’t get why people rave over it so much. it honestly didn’t really make sense to me, and even though my lit teacher says that being confused is just part of the experience of reading the book, i tend to not really enjoy a story when i really have no idea what’s going on and who is who. there was also a lot in the book that was just weird, or frankly wrong. for example, there was a lot of incest, which just made me kind of uncomfortable. furthermore, i thought this story would have a lot to do with colonization and how europeans destroyed this town, but it didn’t really seem to be about that. it was just a very drawn out, confusing story that i didn’t understand the purpose of. maybe if it was clearer what the meaning is i would have enjoyed it more.

This was a bit of a challenging read for me. Those family dynamics and the cycles that were doomed to repeat themselves until that hauntingly chilly end. It was a great read but also a bit of a difficult one.
