Book Review of Where the Crawdads Sing

Where the Crawdads Sing

I picked this book up at a Library book fair and the person behind me told me it was a great book. I had high hopes for it.
At the beginning I struggled to get through. The language just did not hold my attention. The book does grow and the language is easier to understand as the character matures.
I did not like how the book was told from the main characters point of view and then would go off on tangents about back stories that she had no knowledge of. In the middle of a chapter would switch back and forth through the characters thoughts.
It was a good story but this authors writing style is not for me.
