carolinalopes 's review for:

The History of Bees by Maja Lunde
2.0

I feel like this had so much potential, but I ended up feeling disappointed.

Most of the characters really started to annoy me (I found myself rolling my eyes quite a lot, which is rarely a good sign). I didn't enjoy the writing style either (The author. Writes in tiny sentences. Like this. All along. The novel.) I also didn't particularly love how the stories developed towards the ending.

I'd really love to rewrite this because there really is potential, and I enjoyed myself while reading most of it (only in the last quarter did I start feeling like I just wanted it to be over so I could move on to the next book). Overall, 2,5 stars.
