A review by tyrostone
Always by Nicola Griffith
3.0
I didn't like this as much as Slow River, but it was still enjoyable enough. The book seemed to strangely personal, I got the impression it was semi-autobiographical, and that made it too self-indulgent for my tastes.
I liked it more than most suspense novels I've read, but at times it felt like a screenplay (which was also kind of hilarious because a main plot point had to do with filming a movie). Also, it was too long, Lastly, I did not enjoy most of the information in the self-defense class sections of the book (especially at the beginning) which felt too self-conscious and a little bit like radical, militant feminism, which I try to avoid at all costs.
Goodreads, you are being glitchy when I try to write reviews. I cannot go back and edit the text I just wrote. I am annoyed with this. Doesn't impact my rating of the book, though.
