skynet666's review against another edition

3.0

Well, this is one book that I find difficult to review and rate. There were parts of the story and writing that were amazing and I certainly found the book engaging, but I can't say I loved it. In fact, there were parts that I really disliked a lot and the section that focused on Lotto (the husband) was just too long. I'm sure it was worse for me because I absolutely couldn't stand him. In fact, he made me sick. There are plenty of great books in which the author wants you to dislike one of the characters, and I'm fine with it. However, I don't think that was the intention here. I'd be interested to see what any of my Goodreads friends think about it, but nobody has read it yet.

wow people hate this book! i seem to love anything lauren groff writes. yes, the characters are annoying and impossible to relate to, but in a compelling way (to me). almost like two novels in one, with a perspective shift in the middle that leads to some satisfying reveals.

Really 3 and a half. Some of it was strange, unnecessary and hard to get through and some was profound, intriguing and a great way to look at the dynamics of relationships.
