colls 's review for:

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
3.0

There are several good things to say about this book. One is that I like how it's told in reverse chronological order, it was quite a feat to organize it that way and I think the author pulled it off well. Another is that the author really evokes a strong sense of space and setting in this.

Her characters have fascinating potential, but I didn't connect with any of them. In a character driven book, it's pretty critical that the reader connect.

I've greatly enjoyed other books by this author, so I'm convinced that in this case the cliche is true: It's not you, it's me.
