A review by kokechii
The Lake by Banana Yoshimoto

2.0

I'm not sure what to write. I was frustrated with the writing style to be honest. Chihiro's many thoughts were fine at first, but then I felt them almost getting in the way of the so called plot and being repetitive, specially in the first half of the novel. Really didn't like that the summary basically spoils the reveal at the end and although it does that, in the novel it's just so vague, kind of and jumbled... I'm not sure if I didn't get this book or if it's just not written for a reader like me.
