The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
2.0

Heartbreakingly depressing from the start right to the finish. A lot of politics and references to unrest and warfare that I don't know much about; but it was a little overwhelming and very difficult to understand. The writing was a little choppy... jumped around a lot. I felt like I was reading in a fog. The characters were hollow, and I didn't really care what happened to them in the end. This book was a chore to get through. I kept wishing I wasn't so darn stubborn because I really wanted to abandon it many times along the way.
That being said, now that I'm done I guess I didn't hate it. But GOD, am I glad to be finished. FINALLY.
Wouldn't recommend it.
