bookish92 's review for:

The Book of Koli by M.R. Carey
2.0

*I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*


I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy this book as much as I had expected to.
 The book felt really slow to start and I had a hard time connecting with the main character, and felt a general lack of depth and personality. 
 The other thing I couldn't get past was the writing style. While I do understand the reason behind the language style used, I found it really hard to focus on the plot and was constantly rereading parts in order to translate it into standard English in my head, which was a slow and frustrating process.
 I'm sure this writing style would appeal to some, but for me it just didn't work.
