Little Rot: A Novel | Akwaeke Emezi
post image

I really have to stop just buying books. This Emezi book is NOT for me. I normally love their work but I am only about 30 pages in and I hate everything about it. There is a lot of sexual abuse going on. I think it could have worked if there was more of a lead in but I just feel gross reading it.

Texreader Maybe the title says it all! 🧐 2d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Texreader maybe this time... But her Bitter was ironically very sweet. There was a bit of periphery badness but , this one ... Not the same. 2d

#allhailthebail
This is my #bookspin and I am bailing. But I only made it 20 pages in so not marking it as traditional review bail, just realized this language is not for me. It is super intense Irish and 20 pages in I haven't understood anything. That is totally on me. I am sure my annoyance of the McConaghy book earlier today isn't helping. I just want a book I can sink right into that makes sense.

BarbaraBB On this one we agree again at least 😉 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB I am sure it is lovely. It sounds amazing and the reviews of the people who could read it were glowing. I think I just don't read enough traditional Irish writing to give this a go. I do wonder if it would be easier over audio, but the audio isn't available at my library. 3w
Kitta I read this but didn‘t rate it on Goodreads for some reason - usually that means I was conflicted and didn‘t enjoy it as much as expected. (edited) 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Kitta if I don't write about a book on one of the GR/Storygraph sites I will never remember I read it! 3w
Kitta @ChaoticMissAdventures it‘s only marked as read! That‘s it! Not even a date. I remember reading it a while back (10 years ago at least) but not the content of the book. My ex really loved it, maybe that‘s why I didn‘t rate it? We were still together when I read it and I didn‘t want to disagree. I only occasionally write reviews outside litsy, but nearly everything has a star rating 😆 3w

Couldn‘t finish this. I‘m sure it‘s a wonderful story, but I couldn‘t stomach the creepy guy who repeatedly harassed the main character for a date. Eventually he blackmailed her & threatened to turn her in to the police (for a crime he knew she didn‘t commit) if she wouldn‘t say yes to him. Books with characters like that aren‘t for me.

Bailedbailed

I wanted to love this, and it started out SO strong! Normally the issue I find with audiobooks is I like the story but not the voices—this was the opposite! I am in AWE of the talented voice actors but the story has really fizzled out for me, and/or doesn‘t have a clear plot. Maybe a problem of too many shifting perspectives? #allhailthebail

Bailedbailed

It's a bail but I'm not mad at it. I think it is a very well executed cross between Bridget Jones Diary and Dexter. If you are in the mood for graphically violent female rage then I would defo try it. Lots of respect for Skuse as a writer.

But you know I recently unsubbed from Netflix because I felt it was funnelling serial killer content into my head. And this is a bit murderporny, just enough to cross a personal line.
