Status Updates From Cântecul profetului

A little hard to get into this author's style of writing... I'm personally not a fan of justified pages and not quoting dialogue, but the premise seems interesting enough so far.

DNF. I wanted to read this and it seems interesting but I can't stick with the total lack of paragraphing and run on flow. It is nauseating. I've never abandoned a book for format before. If I can get an audio copy, I might give it another go.

this writing style is really hard to concentrate on but this story is so scary so far

Reading this on a kindle is cracked #struggling

Recommended by Hannah. Im having a really hard time with the “no-quotation mark for dialogues”.

Chat, this is hitting a bit too close to home rn….

I want to like this but honestly don’t think I can get past the absurd writing style.

Beautifully written. But heartbreaking and terrifying. It just kept getting harder and harder.

hræðilega leiðinleg

Die Geschichte ist ein stummes Verzeichnis von Leuten, die nicht gehen konnten, ein Verzeichnis derer, die keine Wahl hatten, man kann nicht gehen, wenn man nirgends hin kann und nicht die Mittel hat, dorthin zu gehen, man kann nicht gehen, wenn die Kinder keinen Pass bekommen, kann nicht gehen, wenn die Füße in der Erde wurzeln und Gehen bedeutet, sich die Füße abzureißen.

New paper read.

“(…) e ela percebe como a felicidade se esconde na monotonia do quotidiano, como permanece nas idas e vindas de sempre como se a felicidade fosse uma coisa que não deveria ser vista, como se fosse uma nota que somente é escutada quando soa do passado (…)”

Having paragraphs with run on sentences and no quotations for dialogs its a .... choice?

First 20 pages were slow, next 20 seem to be building to something and the 20 after that fizzled out into nothing.

So far l am disappointed, confused how this book has so many good reviews, but it has 200 pages to hopefully fix it.

Algumas cenas se repetem, algumas seções se alongam, mas vem curando a minha dispneia.

Tomando fôlego, tenho asma.

perhaps not the escapism i had planned for a beach read, but i will persist bc i am a stubborn person and mama didn’t raise a quitter

Eilish girl lock in

everyone ignore that my goodreads is being crazy abt this book. i did not finish it or rate it but this app decided that i totally did which is wild

I need to finish this darn book

quelle déception ce livre mdr

Temom i atmosferom jako me podsjeća na Sluškinjinu priču Margaret Atwood (Booker 2019.)

Pausing this super depressing book for now

A very dense read so far

So viele verschiedene Meinungen - toll und spannend
Allerdings werde ich mir dieses Werk dann vorsichtigshalber erst mal aus der Bibliothek holen😉

Vermoeiend om te lezen. Knap gedaan maar niet voor mij op dit moment.

Note to self: re-read this book once I become a mother, to check if I’ll be as horrified at Eilish parenting style, as I am right now. (Spoiler: I’ll probably be more than now.)

I’m disliking so much the style, that it took me 1/3 of the book to notice that it is written in present tense.
Btw 100 pages gone and still have to find that powerful mother from the book description, because as of now Eilish is one of the most unlikable characters in all the books I’ve read in the last few years.

trite and unoriginal concept but i’m interested enough i guess

Dark but good loved the writing style deserved the top prize

Barely feeling anything
