A review by mitskacir
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

3.0

Ishiguro's slow, stream-of-consciousness writing style is perfectly suited to reflective books like Never Let Me Go (one of my favorites) but was rather boring for The Buried Giant, a fantasy story about an elderly couple who live in medieval England. The juxtaposition of Ishiguro's style, where nothing really happens, with an epic quest story, where I expect a lot of things to happen, just left me disappointed - whenever my curiosity was piqued about a new mystery or adventure, I had to await the resolution for ages before getting a lack luster answer. I honestly wished the book was "weirder" or darker, along the lines of Coraline.
