The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

This book, while having a poignant plot, fell victim to flat writing. I know the whole point was for it to read like a piece of journalism, but the informative style bored me. I missed the florid language of fiction writing. There wasn't any meat or emotion behind any of the words the way they were written. And with a subject as resonant as this, I felt there should have been. It may have been that I had really high expectations for this book before reading, but it was just a slog to get through. Took about 2.5 months to read all the way through. That being said, I loved Virgil and moments of Opal. Don't think I would put this on any recommendation lists though.
