A review by elissalynn
The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner

2.0

I’m not really sure what to say about this book. It was clear that the author was making a statement about race and poverty and the prison system, but i think the way she went about it just didn’t resonate with me.

There were multiple storylines that really jumped around, and i didn’t find myself caring about any of them. Even the main character told her story in an aloof, removed way.

I thought this book was fine...it took me longer than I expected to finish it because some sections were really a trudge. I don’t think I would recommend it...
