Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin

3.0

The title is perfect for how I feel. Essentially this is a bit of a mindf*ck. It’s a novella with no breaks and no chapters, so you can’t stop. It’s a suspense?! horror?! story so you don’t want to stop. At the same time, the writing style makes it incredibly hard to read. I had to reread sections over and over again. It would have been easier as a play a la Beckett but make it creepy, but I think there’s not supposed to be anything easy about the book.

I did look up others’ thoughts on the book after I finished. I rarely ever do that. The meaning behind the book is actually pretty straightforward. Which makes it even more sad.
