Calvin by Martine Leavitt
2.0
I don't quite know what to say about this one.
I guess first off, as short as it is (I read it in a few hours), it's not an "easy" read. The way the sentences are put together, the way the words fit together, it's very awkward and stuttering in places. I kept having to go back and re-read, making sure I understood what I had just been over. There were these huge chunks of information about physics and religion and science and mostly, I just wanted them to end.
The whole story is so bizarre and jarring (as I'm sure it's meant to be) that I never really connected with any of it because I never knew if any of it was real. Granted, Calvin has schizophrenia so I suppose the author accomplished that fairly well.
I don't know. Quick read but I wouldn't say it was necessarily good.
