Lovely Green Eyes by Arnošt Lustig
2.0
I feel so guilty for not liking this book: because of the author’s origins, because of the subject matter. But I just didn’t like it. Although the book's plot spanned several years, not much ever happened in the storyline. The character's inner monologues lasted for several pages; conversations between characters lasted, without exaggeration, more than thirty pages.
When the story finally did shift scenes, it was confusing and hard to follow. Not all the characters are named it was often unclear who is speaking or narrating.
I still gave this novel 2 stars because it left me wanting more. I wanted more plot, more information, and it felt like there was potential left unfulfilled.
