Red Clocks

Oh my, this was just not for me at all!

I heard the premise and thought it sounded so good but the execution was not something I could connect to. The characters are referred to by titles (The Wife, The Daughter, The Biographer, etc.) which is odd enough and creates a distance with the reader, but they are also referred to by name in the same chapters which was just confusing!

I didn't actually mind the short and choppy writing style, I think it lends speed to a narrative as long as the narrative can take it, however I felt like some sections were completely irrelevant and I simply didn't see how they were part of the story.

I'm not going to belittle my own intelligence by saying that maybe I “just didn't get it” (eye roll!), as I understood it fine, I just didn't enjoy the way this was told.
