clair_regan 's review for:
My Name Is Emilia del Valle
by Isabel Allende
DID NOT FINISH: 53%
DNF at 53%
Not me DNF'ing a second book this month...
I tried. Oh, how I tried. This is a SHORT book and it was like pulling teeth trying to read. I was so excited for this book, and I had 0 motivation to read it once I started.
Again, I didn't finish, so I can't give a full review, but the writing style is what really did it for me. It was somehow too long winded and too abrupt at the same time. This is memoir style book, but the main character felt disconnected from the story to me (like she was just along for the ride while things happened to and around her). Parts of the story that needed more details had none, and unimportant details would go on for pages.
Maybe I'll revisit this at some point, and no hate to the author, this was just not the read for me.
