Book Reviews of The Testament of Yves Gundron
Book Review: A Big Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to disagree strongly with all the glowing reviews. It's as if no one has read a novel before Emily Barton's and now they're all excited because they think they're reading something new. But it's not. Hundreds and hundreds of writers have imagined finding Eden, and Barton's version isn't even that compelling. The story of Testament of Yves Gundron is tired (has anyone ever read Swift??), the writing unelegant, and the whole thing hyped.
