Darling Jim by Christian Mørk

4.0

When I first began this book, I really thought I was not going to like it. I had a really hard time remembering this book takes place in the present because of the language and descriptions. I found myself thinking it took place in the 1800s, and when the narrator would mention iPods and Paris Hilton, I was confused for a split second but was reminded about the time period. However, what I really appreciated was the author's craft at story telling. Without giving anything away, this book really is 4 stories rolled into one, told by different people. It was amazing to me how easily the author was able to switch voice and genre within the book! I picked this up on a whim from the library, and I'm glad I did!
