Kelly T. reviewed lost in translation? on
Helpful Score: 1
I really felt like this book must have lost something in translation. I found it dreadfully boring and was barely able to finish it. For a character who was supposedly a poet, he seemed to be in desperate need for a thesaurus as it seemed like the same words were used over and over to describe his loneliness and love for Ipek. So I've got to hope the book was better in the original language.
I've never NOT finished a book and that's the only thing that kept me from literally tossing it into a recycle bin before finishing. I wasn't part of the PBS site when I finished this book and haven't been able to locate it since I read it. I thought I only dreamt of throwing it into the trash upon completion, but apparently, it wasn't only a dream as the book is mysteriously missing from my shelves.
I'm glad others found it more palatable, but for me, it was about as enjoyable as a root canal.
