A Monster's Notes
by Laurie Sheck
by Laurie Sheck
Well - that was a complete waste of time and effort. The best part of this book was the cover - which oh so seduced me with it's suggestion of 'the eye of the soul' and 'an unfinished person' and 'a piece of the whole'...and on and on. I couldn't wait to read this book. What a complete disappointment. By the time I realized that it wasn't going to get any better, I'd already invested too much reading to just quit it. Lordy - the pain to finish it. Nearly did me in.
So what was this book about? Who cares! It was snippets of letters and disjointed thoughts - all whiny and philosophical about nothing and everything and ....did I mention fragments of ..and why did I bother? and who will care? The writing was thankfully done in the format of letters and disjointed thoughts so the pages weren't full. So I guess that was the second best thing about the book.
The third best thing was finally closing the cover. Don't ask me to read another book by Laurie Sheck. I may cry.
