caseyrafn 's review for:
The Miniaturist
by Jessie Burton
Absolutely fabulous. I read most of it in one sitting on a plane and couldn't put it down. The twists and drama of the first half unfurl beautifully in the second half. I got teary around three times, which doesn't really happen with books for me.
Two comments/criticisms:
- The book reads like it should be in first person, and actually as I read it, sometimes I just switched the words to make it so.
- Ironically enough the story would be just as good if the miniaturist and the cabinet house bits were not in the book at all! I'm probably just being naive, but it seems only very loosely attached to the plot.
