A review by daelly
Elysium by Jennifer Marie Brissett

4.0

I was intrigued by this book as it was chosen for a book club and reading the first few chapters I understood why some might be put off by it, but I also saw its potential charm at that point.

There are scenes, which seem all scrambled and jumbled, and although I might agree that it wasn't wrapped up as nicely as you could have liked, I did still find the ending satisfactory.

There was a bit of "it was all a dream" over it, but in a more satisfying way where you can't trust the perspective of the narrator and you know something is wrong all the way through.

The mystery to find out what was wrong all that time, to find out how the scenes fit together, is the real drive of the book. I would recommend it if you have the time to truly focus on the story and don't mind being in a slight state of confusion which will drive your interest forward because you just must know.
