pari27 's review for:
The Magic Mountain
by Thomas Mann
The writing, the tone, the plot were all slays. It was actually kinda humorous which I was not expecting from such an old book. But I was so bored most of the time. It’s just so long and the plot kinda takes a backseat to the characters and what they each represent. But for me to enjoy a book like this, I need to love the main character. And that did not happen. Hans is annoying as hell. Also it didn’t help that I’m not too familiar with pre WW1 Europe so I couldn’t connect to the themes and concepts being represented.
