A review by sadiereadsagain
The Book of Proper Names by Amélie Nothomb

3.0

It was a fairly strange little book, but I really enjoyed it a lot. I like the author's writing style, although as its a translation maybe I should be wary about being completely certain in case things have been added or lost in the process. The story itself rolled along well, it was almost dreamlike & a little unreal. The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. Whilst it did fit in with the story very well, it seemed far too rushed - almost like the author had got bored with the story & wanted to wrap it up in half a page. It really let the rest of the book down.
