A review by alicia_simons
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

This was not the book for me. The writing was very beautiful and flowing and made it have a fairytale like quality. However the concept of the book made it a bit confusing and the plot felt convoluted. I wasn’t able to connect to any of the characters due to the main theme of memories and losing memories. I also found the ending to be unsatisfying.
