    I knew this was going to be like a Hallmark movie, but this was more cringe than I could personally handle and not for me. I would have DNF’d this but it was my book club’s pick for December and I had some long flights, so I pushed through. There were some moments I found it entertaining but the plot and characters were just… boring? I also wasn’t a fan of the addition of the narrator. Overall, not for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    First time reading Bolaño, and the single-paragraph, stream-of-consciousness style definitely took some getting used to. Once I settled into it, though, I actually found it enjoyable at certain points. There were moments that felt almost trance-like as I got swept up in the dying priest’s stories. Bolaño’s satirical take on the events he covers is great, and while I appreciated how the single-paragraph format captured the mind of someone at the end of their life, it also wasn’t always my jam. Interested to dig into more of Bolaño’s work after this!
