fable_encounters's review against another edition
2.0
This was my first Cassandra Khaw book. The description was so interesting and I was so excited to read it.
Within the first two sentences I had to stop to look up what a word meant. This continues throughout the book and makes it a very time consuming read for such a short novella.
The premise of the story could have been very good, but with the use of the unnecessary elaborate words it made the story fall to the wayside.
I really wanted to like this book, but in feel like I don’t even know what I read.

I’m probably too dumb for this book…. I didn’t totally understand it and there were many words I had never heard before so I was lost.
