reginaphillange 's review for:

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

2.0

---

Good prose, but I just couldn't get through all the skipping around and trying to recall who it was I was learning about this time. Probably just me since I know this one was rather acclaimed. I read someone else's review which begged the question about there needing to be a point to a novel. I don't think there does, but when one is written in such an unorthodox way, surely there was a reason/point, and while I am curious, I'm also not really in a place to be reading something which makes me take notes to keep the stories straight. Again, just me. I do plan to read Atkinson's new book, which is also getting rave reviews. Maybe it will inspire me to come back to this one someday.
