ericarobyn 's review for:
Early Riser
by Jasper Fforde
The book dove right in to the story and not in a good way. There was no world building and very little explanation. None of the characters were staying clear in my mind. I ended up restarting to see if I had missed something. Nope.
So I tried continuing on without overthinking it...
There were loads of footnotes, but they didn’t add much and honestly seemed more like a distraction. A few times the footnotes explained things, but I still wasn’t getting the info I needed to stay engaged with the story.
On page 47 we finally get a note about the dream that the plot was supposedly going to center around.
I made it to page 97 and bailed.
