bamandia 's review for:
A Children's Bible
by Lydia Millet
I waver between a 2 and 3 star review.
The way this is written is actually quite beautiful. Like, the words and sentences are nice to read. But buyer beware, I think the compliments end there. The story started strong but sped quickly into a tangle of Lord of the Flies meets Biblical lore meets pretentiousness that I couldn’t get past. There was one layer of bull shit too many for me.
Maybe it’s the time we are living in right now, but this just wasn’t the novel I was looking for in our current climate (no pun intended).
