Book Reviews of Chez Moi
Book Review: A talented writer but an exacerbating book
Summary: 1 Stars
The author is clearly talented. She turns a phrase in such a way that we can see, feel, and smell what's going on around us. I especially liked the kitchen sink bath. When there is light, there is light, when there is dark, we sense the dark, etc. However, overall, I found this to be a bit too much of a psychological novel... her near madness was disconcerting and in the end I skimmed the book but it never grabbed me enough for me to actually read beyond the 20th page. Jaring, unpleasant, made me grateful for my life of peace and more or less order. Loved the cover. (Sad for me that the cover was what I liked best) - until I thought about her ability to make flat words real.However, I think it takes a certain type of person to enjoy this book, hence, in spite of her giftedness I rate it one point.
