We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen

3.0

How do you rate a book that was, objectively, a good book, but not one with with you ever felt you ever really connected? I certainly learned a lot about Denmark, which was the goal anyway, but I don’t feel that this book has really become a part of me or that I particularly came away really liking it, though there were many parts I enjoyed. A pity, for it was a quite the book: at times an adventure story, a coming of age story, a romance, a war story, and more—I don’t know that I’ve ever seen so many genres mixed together so well before. Ah, well—I can only like what I like.
