amelija_vasi 's review for:

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
2.25

A book that I think bit off more than it could chew. The idea of discussing these topics, such as social media, surveillance, privacy is very on the topic for today, but the way the book was written fell short for me. 
The very many characters all with similar names made the stories difficult to follow, and I finally understood what people mean when they say not everyone needs a name in a book. There were a few chapters I enjoyed, but apart from that it was just a slow read that left me more and more confused with every passing chapter.
