You know I thought A Little Life was bad but I would happily take that over this any day of the week. I DNFed it but got close to 50% in and so I am doing a review.
This is the second book by Hanya and it is concerning what her subject is about... especially with children (boys) and men. I am not going to get deep into it, because it become more rant than anything.
The book in itself was boring as hell. I don't care about a horrible man and what he has to say. The only thing that had me going was the stories from the islands but everything else that takes place on that island with the people... hell no. I don't care. Just hell no.
