See allBeautiful, multi-layered and sad. Amazing piece of work. Glad to have finally taken the time to read it.
A word of advice - just read it. Don't watch the movie. Tried watching the movie after just finishing the book and it felt like ... pudding skin. Just a thin layer sitting on top of something much more satisfying underneath.
Ruth sucks.
Good stuff, but what makes it so good also hurts it a little bit. The lack of tying in the narrative to core protagonists breaks it up a little too much. But still - great read, lots of fun.
This book is ... batshit crazy. Sure, she's a great writer but there was a little too much “out there” in this for me.
The literary equivalent of a coca cola and bag of m&m's - enjoyable but not very nutritious.
