The Vegetarian

Okay first for the good things - I thought the writing was beautiful and vivid, and the translation was excellent!

The book is broken up into 3 sections all told from different points of view- I enjoyed the first, the second was okay but got a bit weird, then the third was just a bit boring to be honest.

I don't know whether this went straight over my head but I just didn't really get the whole point of the 3 different narratives. I did enjoy the first third and if that had continued I suspect it would have been a better book for me but the tone and feel changed in the other 2 sections and I just didn't really enjoy those bits.

I still absolutely praise the translation and writing though - both were excellent!
