A review by abbysbookishthings
The Girl on the Fridge by Etgar Keret

2.0

I mean it was fine, I was expecting a lot more. We read some of his stories in my creative writing class and I really liked them so I decided to pick up one of his books. I liked the stores at the beginning more, and as the book went on it was just dry and I found myself skimming through stories and becoming bored. I felt like some of the stories were extremely dark just for the sake of being extremely dark. I don’t mind some dark and twisted humor but some of them seemed that the only purpose was to be disturbing. I now understand why my teachers selected the stories they did, they picked the best products from a lackluster batch. I do have another one of his book, I might read it, still deciding. Some story’s were amazing and were worth reading but other were just... boring. Was this book translated from another language? If so maybe some stories would make more sense in the original language.
