ellielester 's review for:
To Paradise
by Hanya Yanagihara
This one took me a little longer than A Little Life… it also took me longer to start than A Little Life because I wasn’t ready to have my heart wrenched out of my body again.
To Paradise still broke my heart but in a softer, yet somehow deeper way. Spanning 200 years and 700 pages, Yanagihara gives time to dig in and really sting you with a strange hopelessness.
I both love and hate reading Yanagihara. Her writing creates and stirs such intense emotions that the next few books I read are met with numbness, authors barely scraping the surface layer of feeling.
Flew through Book I and Book II but Book III dragged ever so slightly, largely due to my general disinterest in dystopian novels, which is obviously not the authors fault but the only reason I haven’t given 5 stars!
