The Sentence by Louise Erdrich
2.75

This book was very well written. There was some beautiful language in this, and it especially discussed books in a great way. But the actual plot of this book wasn’t as interesting. There were a few too many threads for me, and the resolution with the ghost I found confusing. Maybe it was hinted earlier and I missed it, but I just left it wondering how we got there. This was also one of the first books I read that directly confronted the realities of the past few years and while it was interesting I think it’s still a bit too fresh for me to read about. I might like this better with a little more distance from these events.
