Sleepless

what!!! what!!!! what!!!!!

This is definitely an either love it or hate it book. For me its possibly the most confusing thing I've ever read. I really struggled with the narrative. You are constantly flung between first person - third person - journal and I'm going to admit that I had read about 100 pages before realising I was with about a completely different character than what I thought I was.

There are some really interesting ideas and the fact that I actually read the whole thing must count for something but in the end I just wanted to make sure the baby was ok.

I had every reason to like this book and I could not get through it.

It must just be me though since it has relatively good ratings.

“Park watched the undulated blade of a flamberge pierce the side of the Northerner and rip upward, unzipping the huge barbarian's rib cage in a spray of blood.”

It made sense in context, but undulated blades are where I hang my hat up.
