Ben, In The World by Doris Lessing

tallerding's review against another edition

1.0

I think this is the first book I have ever DNF'ed in my life. I pushed myself to get through The Fifth Child, and I was hoping that this book would be better. I only made it to page 35 when I asked myself why I was forcing myself to suffer through a book that I was absolutely hating, and that had a story I could not follow. I have always kept every single book I've purchased. However, this and The Fifth Child will be going to Goodwill.

هذه التتمة أضعف من الجزء الأول
مأساوية بشكل أقل، وهو الذي كان يميز الجزء الأول. كما أن طريقة سرد الكاتبة بذكر نهاية ونتيجة الأحداث ثم البدء في سردها فكرة سيئة وتقتل المتعة تقريبًا.
