Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories
by Flannery O'Connor
This was my first experience with Flannery O'Connor while I admit she is a very talented writer and story teller, all these stories were fairly depressing. I'm not asking that everything I read be happy, but I was hoping that at least one of these would be hopeful. However, that was not the case. Maybe it was the fact that I listened to it on audiobook, and a majority of the time on my way to or from work in the mornings/evenings, but it just never left me feeling really satisfied. It mostly just bummed me out. The narrators all did a spectacular job though and that's the only reason I really even gave this book 3 stars... Not really even sure I want to do that.
Anyways, maybe I just came in expecting something else and that's why it was just an average experience for me, but it wasn't anywhere near one of my favorite reads/listens. I'm sure I'll give O'Connor another shot eventually but I think I'll hang my hat up for now.
