A review by slibourel
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
2.0
I wanted to stop reading less than halfway through, but I'm no quitter. This book was a huge disappointment because I LOVED Zevin's The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry. I didn't find all the gaming technology engaging even though I usually enjoy learning about things I know little about.
I've been thinking about what to write since I finished the book yesterday, and realized I can't even tell you what the book was about. It is promoted to be about disabilities, redemption, and connection, but I hated the LACK of connection that the characters maintained.
The story focuses on two very unpleasant characters, Sam and Sadie, with forays into the lives of other tangential characters (why? I DON'T KNOW). None of the characters exhibit any type of emotion (other than my own repulsion to one of the side characters, Dov) and I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
I am sometimes sucked into reading books that are promoted by Goodreads during their year-end 'best of' lists. Some books seem like they are on the list for reasons other than being well enjoyed by readers. This is one of those books.
