amanda_ 's review for:
Harem : en sann historia
by Jillian Lauren
I'll refer to an update I made when finishing this:
While I appreciate that this book never felt like it wanted to shock simply for the fun of it, it's devoid of emotion in the prose. The author makes few reflections on how she feels about it now, after it happened. When reading biograpgies, I read it with that hope; that the author will comment on how she/he feels now. Lauren's writing is full of strange analogies that pulls the reader out of the story, and she doesn't attach any emotion to the story. In the end, the result was me wondering what the point was, which is rarely a good feeling to leave the reader with.
"Varying degrees of disinterested while reading this. At times yawning, why-am-I-reading-and-more-importantly-what-am-I-reading. Then thinking, this might've been interesting, but the complete lack of reflection from the author makes this a long list of things she did in her late teens. Unimpressed by the writing too, weird analogies to jilt the prose."
