Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval
3.75
i hate finishing a book without writing it a review; i see it as a kind of farewell, a definitive ending to the book. For Paradise Rot, however, I really am struggling with writing a review.
To be completely honest, theres really nothing to talk about ? A story of a biology student in an unfamiliar country with unfamiliar people and unfamiliar experiences. Interesting read but not something I would think about for longer than the duration spent reading the book (a day).
The prose was lovely and rather descriptive and grotesque. A bit disgusting (in a good way). The characters were easy to read. Although none of them went through character arcs, I dont believe the book wouldve benefited from that.
Theres basically no plot, but its just a girl discovering her surroundings. Life doesn't have a clear plot either so in that essence I believe. the book did an adequate job.
3.75/5 bec it was enjoyable but nothing special
