De avond is ongemak by Lucas Rijneveld

dark sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book is shockingly gross. It reminded me of the uncomfortable feeling I had while reading Lapvona. At certain points it was a bit too much for me. I’m conflicted though, since this was well-written. I underlined many beautiful lines in this book. 

While I usually don’t mind books with little plot, however I did miss more depth in this story. Especially when there is potential in the story. There was a fantastic novel brewing in this book, but it got hidden behind the body horror (if that’s the right word to use), but I’m not author so maybe I can’t really say that. 

I think that if I had known some of the content warnings before I started reading, I probably would not have picked this up. However I am interested in reading more from this author (but maybe I’ll look into the content warnings first).
