Well . . . um . . . yeah . . . so
I guess that was good . . . maybe . . .
Kinda weird . . . I think . . .
Definitely a bit much . . . oh, no doubt . . . but . . .
Poignant perhaps . . . certainly heart strings were tugged . . . however . . .
Confusion! Yes! That's it . . . or, maybe not . . .
100% sure I was 90% moved by being 80% lost while at the same time being 70% disturbed . . .
This book . . . yup . . . it's . . . sure, I guess?

Man, I laughed out loud through your entire review. You summed up how this book makes you feel. Great stuff!
LeAnne wrote: "Did it remind you of something Sylvia Plath would write? It did me!"Oh, I have never read Plath. Perhaps I should for point of reference.
And by "you" I mean individually in your case and collectively as you did an awesome job of conveying how I felt after reading this.

I sat for a few minutes trying to think of a well crafted review, and since this was my thinking process for that whole time I figured, why not!?
Nah this is perfect. Great work sir!

I think we've all been there with one or two books. I had a bit of the same kind of thoughts when I read Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes. It was a love hate relationship, but it made me think about it for awhile after I read it.
Ha ha! I think. . . I guess. . . I might. . . like this review. Matthew, you always make me laugh and think. . . I think.

But, in the end I couldn't figure how it could be any lower than 4, even though I was not 100% sure I liked it.

Though I love your review I honestly don't think I'm the right audience for this one.
Carol wrote: "Though I love your review I honestly don't think I'm the right audience for this one."Yeah - I cannot say for sure who the best audience might be so I don't think I would ever actually recommend this one!

Yes! This sums up exactly how I felt about this book!! Simultaneously beautifully written but horrifying and disturbing to read.

Your thoughts sum up how I feel after completing this book!

Definitely still quite konglishy, but as someone who had lived in Korea for a few years, I just imagined I was listening to one of my adult students tell me a story.

This review is everything I tried to say in my review. the best review of this book by far!
Mel wrote: "This review is everything I tried to say in my review. the best review of this book by far!"Aw, thanks! When I wrote this review, I didn't realize that it would get such a positive "I feel the same way" response!
This is EXACTLY how I feel about this book.
