A review by ladybugwrites
Morgenstjernen by Karl Ove Knausgård
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
As I first started reading this, I was under the impression I'd finish. It seemed to have a theme around death and I was fairly interested in what might happen. by the fourth or fifth person I'd followed for a few days and seeing this weird star, I didnt care anymore. Also, these characters are not likeable. I cannot explain how much I just, at some point couldnt stand them.
At some point, one character says something about how people have decided to say things are good even when they dont like them, that theyre expected to like it so they act like its great, and this only perpetuates the shit and makes there be more shit. Ironically, this book got a bunch of five and six dice from various critics and I'm certain they must being doing this. Nothing happens in this book, and also, when my dad says it's not really worth it and had critiques and he usually reads stuff like this or that some people find boring, well. that says a lot to me.
might try another Knausgård book at some point, but it's gonna be a while.
