A review by larasam
Carnevale by Michelle Lovric

2.0

I give the book credit for having a different style. Most of the book is narrated by one character, but there are additional sections where the writing switches letters, and also small chapters throughout that are narrated by another character, such as a gondolier or a cat. Each chapter is headed by a Venetian saying or proverb.

While this is very creative, I find the main characters somewhat annoying, over dramatic, and self absorbed. Unfortunately, it's hard to get over this and makes the book not as enjoyable as it could be.
