The Book of Two Ways
by Jodi Picoult
I really wanted to like this book more and almost gave it three stars, but I know if I had read it in print as opposed to listening to the audiobook I might not have even finished it. From the outside this book seems like everything I would like: multiple timelines, Egyptian history, death positivity. It was a huge letdown. The beginning was soooooo slow. The highly researched nature of the book lead to its demise as it's pretty boring just having two Egyptologists talk to each other (forever) at a dig site. I know it was meant to be a character driven piece, but I didn't really connect with any of the characters. The main character bothered me quite a bit. The book was slightly redeemed towards the end as I thought the structure took a unique turn I wasn't expecting. That being said, it was far too long, and the characters weren't engaging enough for it to be a character book.
