neptunereads's review against another edition
2.0
Yes interesting stories within it in. But it felt more like a list of what happened, with details, rather than good storytelling and writing techniques put to use. It made me realize that writing style can be much more important than the content itself. I have read books that have much less going out but were much more emotionally intriguing and addicting. The book felt very dry, despite the nature of the story (she went through what most children will never; and yet it felt so lackluster). The detached story telling sometimes made it boring, when otherwise it could/and should have been a poignant read.
I was very excited about this one, so a little disappointed! She is an art historian and it felt like she was writing a history of her life rather than a memoir with storytelling.
Took me a long time to finish. And I read fast.
