A review by juliebcooper
Snow by Orhan Pamuk

Did not finish book.

I really tried. But I couldn't get past some of the dream-like and random sequences and digressions.... and I think it boils down to Pamuk's writing style is not my cup of tea - I found it rather impenetrable. I was curious about where he was going with the suicide girls and the competing ideals in Kars and Turkey with "modernists" and "Political Islamists", but then Ka would stop and have a plate or 3 of food and I wouldn't care anymore. And again - I get that his character is an allegory (at least I assume so).... But he was so infantile at times I wanted to throw the book across the room. So - I didn't finish. Too many other things out there I'd like to read.
