Bellman & Black: A Ghost Story by Diane Setterfield
2.0

A story that unfortunately wasn’t for me. It failed to keep me focused on the story as I found my thoughts constantly drifting away and I just wished it would end because it was really boring. There was some deep and poetic elements woven into the story that I really appreciated and would have loved to delve deeper into. The writing was very good and professional, but at the same time it was very stiff and felt more like a historical overview of the main characters entrepreneurship than his way of dealing with his traumas and hardships. I felt as if I was reading someones genealogy of their great grandfather; it felt distant and uninteresting.
