Kirja-arvosteluja
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.I received a copy of this book as a free advance review audiobook and have chosen of my own free will to post a review. I found this book to be very boring and a waste of my time to listen to. The author skips around a great deal. The story doesn’t make sense and is very hard to follow.
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.This book is an absolute mess. Did not like it at all. It was hard to keep plots and subplots straight. The frequent change of tense and POV was jolting. It wasn't until after the completion of the audiobook that I learned that the story was based on fact. I don't think that knowledge would have helped. Even the competent and talented narrator couldn't save this one for me.
Thanks for LT's Early Reviewers program for the audiobook. Unfortunately, they can't all be winners.

Me: I'll bet you a million dollars she has an MFA.
Geoff: How can you tell that?
Me (looks in the About the author section): Yep! MFA!
Geoff: That doesn't answer my question.
Me: What question?
Geoff: Is it any good?
So is it? Parts sure -- the chapter set in the city with the rebels was so tautly written and great to read. But that whole thing reads exactly like my idea of a stereotypical I have an MFA and this is my first novel novel (I have no idea if my opinion is justified, since, perhaps, I read tonnes of novels with those two qualifications and don't even realize it). What do I mean?
And so, it ends up being more like a bunch of short stories about a fictionalized account of the filming of Cannibal Holocaust. I'm not saying that this is bad, but it isn't the most wonderful book I've ever read either. I think it was marketed as horror. I'm jaded, so I wasn't that horrified. But, maybe I was supposed to be horrified. I don't know. I need a new POV chapter/character to tell me what I'm supposed to feel.
