Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

[rainbowunicorn_reads]

Ugh. So many rave reviews, but so far I'm finding it difficult to finish this book. Plus the gf and I got to the point where we wanted to underline all these lofty sentences with simile upon simile upon metaphor upon metaphor. So far the plot is interesting enough for me to continue reading, but the style is more than jarring. Maybe after reading this I'd better appreciate The Secret History by Donna Tartt, since they have more or less the same story.

What I think: Will edit this when I finish the book.
