We the Living by Ayn Rand
Did not finish book.
1.0
I wonder if I’m slumping, because I’m not really enjoying this either. I don’t like the characters and can’t tell if they’re supposed to be unlikeable or not. Kira is such a “I’m not like other girls” character,
that it’s super annoying. Are we supposed to sympathize with this rich family? They left Russia to escape the revolution, living on some island in Eastern Europe for five years, and then, for some reason, decide to return to Russia and expect to get by/act like nothing happened. Little tone deaf…the rich were able to flee, and then willingly decide to return, and then complain about life in communist Russia. Okay…? What did you expect? It’s as if the family didn’t anticipate being affected by the revolution… I’m not sure I want to continue with this. The writing style is fine, but the characters, the plot… Setting down for now.
