A review by kasiaolm
The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

Did not finish book.

This book is simply boring. Descriptions and digressions are overdrawn, too long, beside the point. There are too many details and side stories that don't add anything to the main plot, which moves painfully slow. The characters seem shallow and one dimensional and despite all the descriptions, all the “thinking” they do, we know very little about them. And they are not exactly likable, which I don’t mind in the book as long as there is an actual story, a plot which keeps me engaged. Here, the plot seems to be so distant, the action nonexistent and the ramblings and recollections endless.
Overall it is a disappointing book. It does not happen to me very often, but I have not finished it, gave up halfway through.
