Just no I had seen this book so much and I loved Klara and the sun, so I had such high hopes for this one. I thought it was just a slow start, but no... I know some people might like this type of writing, but I struggled so much to get through this. I also really disliked most of the characters so that was u h m great. Thanks for pushing me into a reading slump I am now going to have to haul myself out of.
