A review by ashleyj_reads
Life of Death by Nicholas A. McGirr
Did not finish book.
*WON A COPY FROM A GOODREADS GIVEAWAY*
I gave up on this book on page two of chapter one. It wasn't because of the story; I actually think it's really interesting, and I'm sad that I can't finish it. The language and general rules of writing are awful. It was difficult to understand what was going on; it seems information was forced together specifically to make longer paragraphs. Dialogue was inserted haphazardly.
Overall, it's giant disappointment in terms of writing style. I cannot continue to read a book if I have to read each paragraph three times to understand what is happening.
The plot does sound intriguing, and the cover is beautiful! So if you want to dive on in and try it yourself, I say go for it! My reading preferences may be different than yours.
My autographed copy of this book will be donated.
