The Book of Illusions: A Novel

[Becca]

I keep looking at this one, but can never commit - what did you think of it?

[Beth]

Hi Becca, I have really mixed feelings about this book. While I'm fascinated by the silent film star's story, I am not so into the narrator's story, so whenever the narrator switches back to his story, I get bored. I am just not at all attached to the narrator, and while I admire some of the writing a great deal, well, there's that narrator that I'm not interested in. Because of this, it is taking me forever to read the book, and ultimately, I will probably put it down before I finish. OR I will skim it to find the rest of the film star's story. I hope that helps!
