thereadingmum 's review for:
My Life as a Fake
by Peter Carey
Firstly, the no quotation mark dialogue was a bit annoying and unnecessary, but forgiveable.
I've enjoyed all the other Peter Carey books I've read but this one was not for me. The ending in particular was too much of a non-ending. I thought he was leading us one way but then the plot seemed to just fizzle out. It wasn't true enough to the Frankenstein theme and left too many open ends. I get that you want to leave the ending open for interpretation, but surely you can tie a few of the loose bits up.
