heidiimmes 's review for:

Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje

2.0

---

For the first two thirds of this book, I struggled with the pace--it felt like constant starts and stops--but managed to hang on well enough. And then it changed, into some back story, that never really felt connected or significant or interesting. Ugh. And, I know this is very American of me, but I was looking for some kind of closure, or discovery, or something satisfying with the main characters--obviously I didn't get it. Frustrating!
