A review by mmarlborough
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

Did not finish book.

I DNF this one at 48%. I loved A Visit from the  Goon Squad and gave it 5 stars when I read it. I was so excited for this book but it’s just not for me. I felt so disconnected for the characters due to the ever changing format and structure. I know critics will say this is brilliant but it was not an enjoyable reading experience for me and life’s too short to read what doesn’t serve you. I liken this reading experience to my time with Cloud Atlas and Cloud Cuckoo Land.
