Exit West | Mohsin Hamid

I‘m 145/231 pages and while I like the concepts presented in the book I‘m struggling with how it‘s written. The pacing is weird, the sentence formatting is weird to me. There‘s long winded tangents and then short staccato like sentences; but it‘s like they don‘t flow nicely. A lot of telling and not showing. Is it worth continuing? #exitwest #poll #continueornot?

Megabooks Oh yeah it‘s a weird book, but I like the quirkiness. 4y
haileybean @Megabooks I‘m enjoying the concepts, and open to it having doors left open (BA DUM TSSS) it‘s just the actual writing. Something is obviously propelling me forward or I wouldn‘t have given it this many pages. I‘m just worried the writing style is going to leave a sour taste 4y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled No. I found the weird leap of magical realism ridiculous. (strong opinion! Sorry!) (edited) 4y
