lostinfrance 's review for:
The Emperor's Children
by Claire Messud
Wow. Before reading the book and after reading the reviews I started reading this book with the thought that I would hate it. I think because my expectations were low I actually liked this book. Yes, the author needs to put her thesaurus away---- no, I DID care about some of the characters.....yes, I thought the ending was not worth reading the book. But, I did enjoy meeting her characters and seeing where she would take them in the 400 pages. Not far----and a lot of unanswered questions, but the book is not "terrible" as some would say---- but it definitely did NOT deserve the award for book of the year.
