tracimreed 's review for:

Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

3.0

---

I tried. I tried really hard to get into this book. I tried really hard to imagine myself in this world, under the circumstances of the US outlawing fundamental reproductive rights (which, sadly, feels imminent). But man, I could not get a grip on the writing style in this book. I found the story, if told in a different way, could have been very compelling, but the prose just took me straight out of the story every time.

Plus, the "excerpts" from the Biographer's (character) book felt disjointed and I felt didn't really add anything to the storyline.
