krystlocity 's review for:

Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak

2.0

---

The family dynamics were cute, but the story was incredibly hard to follow and I didn't see any good reason for that. The story also teased a lot of things that were very misleading, and I think they were meant to be clever, but they it fell short of that for me and just felt like cheap ways to pull the reader in. I spent most of this book trying to figure out what was going on and in the end...not actually caring that much. There was so many actions that were talked about so vaguely, I think the writer was trying to make it artful, but it just made it confusing. Did this person die or not? How did they die, when? Why did they leave? When? Why? I was craving things to be more straightforward and not to have to work for things so hard for most of the book.
