Inland by Téa Obreht
2.0
My favourite bit about this book was the camel. Majority of the characters were unlikable, the story was plodding and long. I left this book for a bit as a library book came through, and I had to actively drag myself to come back to it and through it.
The story was not inherently bad, and in parts interesting. I just didn't overly care except for one or two supporting characters (Hi Jolly/Hadi Jahli as an example. And Bourke the camel). And it just kept. going. I just needed a book set in Arizona.
Disappointing as I have had Obreht's book [b:The Tiger's Wife|8366402|The Tiger's Wife|Téa Obreht|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1382570044l/8366402._SY75_.jpg|13221524] on my physical shelf for nearly 15 years now, but I am thinking twice about picking it up unfortunately.
