thomas_edmund 's review for:
The Conservationist
by Nadine Gordimer
For for first time in a while I let expectation get the better of me. I was to read this piece for book club, and was finding it hard to track down, everywhere I went said they didn't have a copy but that the book was amazing.
So eventually when I found it there was quite a bit of anticipation...
Unfortunately my enjoyment fizzled, I really got into the story in the first few pages, then found myself getting lost in the lengthy passages. Conservationist was one of those books that made me feel dull, because I was struggling to follow what was going on (maybe I am dull, but I still think a book should be accessible)
The best part of this book I found where the paragraph interludes which (I think) expressed African mythology or parable.
