adcurtiss 's review for:

The Wall by Marlen Haushofer
3.0

"There is no impulse more rational than love."

This book was weird because nothing really happened?? I loved the descriptions, especially the narrator's relationships with the animals (Bella, Lynx, Tiger, Pearl, etc.), but truly nothing happened. The whole book was just about how she adapted to life within the confines of the wall, but I kept waiting for an explanation, which made the events at the end so jarring because there was no explanation for what happened. Very weird...
