A review by thehal
Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel
1.0
DNF p.46
I really got through some really bad books, but never did I put one of them down so fast (I wanted to throw it out of the window actually)...
Don't get me wrong, I loved the idea and premise of this. Also I normally don't have anything against interview focused novels. But oh boy... This was just a pile of (unnessessary) informations, and in my eyes - the eyes of someone who is nearly finished with their linguistic and literature studies - very poorly written. I couldn't get past a few chapters, which I am kinda sorry for, because I really wanted to keep on going even though I don't like it, so I can write a proper review about the whole thing, but I just can't. Maybe some day, but as for now, this will be put on my rare dnf-pile, and I'll go read a nice book instead..
