Leave the World Behind - Rumaan Alam
She read
He tried it but gave up
There has been a lot of buzz about this book, especially since it is being made into a motion picture. Although it is not typical of the genre I enjoy, I thought I would try it. Understand that this is not a light, beach read. I think you will either love it or hate it. No meh about it.
I surprised myself in that I really liked it. You know the premise…I won’t go into it here. Be advised, though, that you never really do find out what is going on in the world.
What did I like about it? The author’s use of language. The descriptions…the almost stream of consciousness descriptions and astute observations of life. This is a book that you want to take your time with, savor and reflect on those observations. And, let the book be a warning…….
