panThis just did not flow as well Ehrenreich's other books. Her attempt to show death's inevitability, and explain why it's not in our nature to accept it nearly bored me to death. But I did get two bingos!

so-soMarch 2025 Book #5
I own like three special editions of this book because they are beautiful and I thought I would love this book. This book has mixed reviews. I‘m in the side of very disappointed team. The writing style is so different of what I use to read by this author, it was like someone else wrote it. The premise is so interesting but I found it extremely boring. Maybe because I was expecting action, intrigue, I don‘t know something else⬇️

I enjoyed Bunny 4 years ago even though I wasn‘t sure what I read & thought that “the book might be mocking me for not being as smart as it.” (I don‘t know, that‘s what I wrote.🤷🏻♀️) Anyway, I thought I‘d like this prequel/sequel, but I really didn‘t. I felt like what seemed effortlessly quirky in Bunny seemed like trying too hard to be quirky here. Also why did it need to be so long?! Anyway, I finished & it was a pan for me.🐰🪓⬇️

I got behind in my #AuthorAMonth September reading of Kurt Vonnegut. I originally was going to read Cat‘s Cradle but had to return the ebook to the library so I ended up with the tagged story from Libby (interesting dystopia satire) & Slice of Life, a slightly longer science fiction story, not listed on Litsy free on Audible. I‘m also still listening to his essays/college speeches, If This Isn‘t Nice, What Is? that I‘ll finish today ⬇️
so-soThe plotline itself was well thought out, with the mixing of the two timelines & the gradual reveals, but for me, I'm afraid the characters rather spoiled things. Dolly Dove seemed to have almost no personality & I had no strong feelings about what happened to her character, Fern was just annoying, & did Nell have to be quite so useless at everything? I also found the ending to be rather melodramatic. (continued)
