This book is a slow burn. The first 100 pages are pretty bland to be honest but by page 200 I was all in again and by 300 I was unable to stop reading. The subtlety and attention to details are incredible! As I read this series it feels like it's based on reality. Ferrante, still writing from Lenu's point of view, shows us what happens to those who leave nd those who stay. All I can say is brilliant book/writing and I recommend it....more
Just finished this one this morning. Was happy to have finally gotten to this mysterious book. I really enjoyed it. I'd describe it as a slow burn sinJust finished this one this morning. Was happy to have finally gotten to this mysterious book. I really enjoyed it. I'd describe it as a slow burn since the first 40% of the book is the foundation for what happens in the second part of the book. The Unseen World focuses on the atypical father daughter relationship between Ada and David. That is the strongest part of the novel in my opinion. The only average thing about this novel is the dialogue which comes off stiff and unnatural at times but be that as it may the story itself is engrossing and uplifting. I don't want to say too much more because I risk to give things away and that would be disappointing. The beauty in this book is discovering the story as you read along. So, all I have to say is read it. You won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to reading her second novel called Heft. ...more
This book really blew me away. Book 1 of this series didn't really impress me so I wasn't really sure what to expect. The storytelling is incredible. This book really blew me away. Book 1 of this series didn't really impress me so I wasn't really sure what to expect. The storytelling is incredible. The attention to detail is remarkable and really adds everything to the story. Funny this story is full of despicable characters. There isn't one that is redeemable. Despite this the story is so engrossing and I can't wait to get on to book 3. It's like a train wreck you can't turn away from. I highly recommend it. ...more
This rating is more like a 2.5, but I decided to round it up. There are more redeeming qualities about than not.
