fuzaila's review against another edition
4.0
I can't believe books like these are not getting the attention they deserve.
Look, if you know me, you know that I'm a plot-driven reader. I look for solid plots in all the book I read. But this was an exception.
This book centers around three characters. For me it was an intimate look into the lives of people I tended to ingnore so often - a wealthy lawyer, a man who chose to beg on the streets, a woman forced into prostitution. The story follows these three lives and how they become intertwined after a chance encounter between each of them. I was invested in these characters and they made me feel.
Ah, I know you're already turning your heads away because you haven't seen this book elsewhere, because it's 'indie'. I know mainstream novels can be fun and enjoyable, but books like Turnstiles and others, deserve a chance. I'm pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it?? And it was so good?? And well-written?? AND THE ENDING WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Whatever others say, for me, it's all that matters.
Fully reviewed here, in exchange of an honest review.
