danilanglie 's review for:
Tin Man
by Sarah Winman
The writing was beautiful, but the story just kind of amounted to nothing. I thought I knew what this book was going to be about. The minute I realized , I lost interest. I wanted a certain kind of story, and instead I got something else. Maybe that's on me - maybe my expectations ruined the final product for me.
On another note, I'll never understand why books feel the need to be artsy in their presentation without good reason. Why no quotation marks, and minimal punctuation? It just makes it harder to read. The minimalist effect shouldn't be there just for funsies. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, so that may also have hindered my enjoyment.
Still, the prose were great, and the relationships felt real. The tragedy hit home for me, so I can't say this was a bad novel by any means.
