A review by sam_hildebrandt
Sea Monsters by Chloe Aridjis

2.0

Well, this is a "meh" rating. There a beautiful "seashells" (i.e., golden nuggets) of writing in this novel. Some sentences I felt compelled to underline or star because of the imagery conveyed or metaphors created. But those are tiny, sparkly seashells in a vast bland ocean! Ninety-five percent of this novel could be lost in the depths of the ocean. The almost non-existent plot decreased the motivation to continue reading; but thankfully, it's only 200 pages. It was an overall boring book...thus it's a 2/5 stars.
