My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk
4.0
This was my first book from Pamuk, and I was stricken by his writing and sometimes the choice of his words. His storytelling ideas are profoundly original, and a joy to see developed to their fullest. You would only have to read the first chapter to understand my meaning.
Even though the depictions felt long at times, I still enjoyed the gripping story and truly felt the thriller genre this book inscribes itself in.
'My Name Is Red' is definitely not for people who do not enjoy lengthy descriptions over more that 600 pages, and is definitely for those who enjoy diving fully into a world (in this case old Istanbul) they are unfamiliar or already familiar with.
In a nutshell, you may lose yourself completely when reading it. I recommend.
