Book Review of My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


I read A Man Called Ove and enjoyed so I thought I would like this one as well. But honestly, I could barely finish it. It was predicable yet convoluted and unrealistic. There is no way a 7 year old would be running around they way she does nor would her vocabulary and understanding of the human condition be as sophisticated. And the whole premise of the fairytale back story was just plain annoying. If I wanted to read a Harry Potter book I would read one.
