rapunkzle 's review for:

The Observer by Marina Endicott

DID NOT FINISH

---

This novel is written in the style of a memoir, which for some may be enjoyable but for me made it extremely difficult to read. While I do enjoy a nice memoir now and then, this book to me mainly feels like one in the way the book's events are told. It feels like someone just filling you in on things that happened to them in chronological order, rather than a story with a purpose. I found the writing extremely dull and I couldn't bring myself to care about a single character (and there were so many introduced in such quick succession that I couldn't keep track of who's who). I DNFd at 49%, as this book felt entirely like a chore to read.
