A review by ktaylorhurley
A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson

1.0

What a slog. It literally took me 2.5 months to read this book. Just never cared that much about the characters, or what would happen to them, which is insane considering how much I loved many of these same characters in Life After Life. I'll chalk up some of my frustration with this book to the fact that I was working full time and also going to school during this period, leaving me time to absorb the book only in fits & starts. Maybe I would have liked it more if I could have absorbed it more consistently, and across longer sittings. Either way, I have to say I wish I had picked up just about any book in my pile instead of this one. Kate Atkinson is a great writer, but this is a miss.
