Anna K: A Love Story by Jenny Lee
3.0
3 stars
I’m not sure how I feel about this book. Now I should admit I’ve never read Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. I’ve tried more times than I can count but have never been able to make it past 100 pages.
This book was good but not great and I didn’t hate it. So…neutral? I ran the full range of emotions while reading this book. From smiling, to disgust, to sadness, to WTF so maybe that makes for a good book but I found that I just really didn’t care all that much about the characters. Most of them were either unlikeable or forgettable.
Maybe that was the issue. Either way it was a miss for me. The real question though is will I read the second one?
Why yes, yes I will.
The book gets 3 stars because the author’s writing was fantastic, easy to read, and had me blazing through this book in only a couple of days. Fingers crossed I like the sequel better than this one.
