dark slow-paced

A boring straitjacket of a book. Pretentious sentences with Paulo Coelho’y ideas at times. Sexist too, although I guess I get why. I did like the premise of this novel, and I can see its merit in shedding light on American prisons in the 19th century. Still, it was too boring to also be this dark. I persevered and finished it because I thought this could be a good challenge to keep myself focused on something that I struggle to engage with.

Jack London’s last book written before he died, it’s well written and easy to get absorbed into the story. Based on interviews with an actual San Quentin inmate, it wavers in between reality and imagination. Each character is very believable, and London’s descriptions are perfect: not too detailed, but detailed enough to make every part seem more real than fantasy. I loved it.
