A review by lizaroo71
Snow by Orhan Pamuk

1.0

i don't know quite what to think of this novel. i felt such relief when i finished it. the beginning of the story held promise, but as the book moved forward, i felt less engaged with the characters and what was happening. i kept waiting for Ka to get a backbone or Ipek to declare her love, but nothing ever happened for 400 pages! perhaps the politics of the novel is above my head. whatever the case may be, i found it work to get to the end. i almost gave up with fifty pages left, but i felt the task should be completed. grueling. i am glad to leave it behind.
