A review by lucy_qhuay
The Hunger Angel by Herta Müller

2.0

I tried to love this book, but even though I think the writing is amazing and that the story started beautifully, I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it from the 25% mark on

Surprisingly, I found myself rather bored and with no will to keep reading it.

I did found interesting the fact that hunger was called an angel, yet it was this dark, ominous, shadowed figure, a silent companion to the protagonist of this story and everyone else. More like a demon than an angel, really.

However, the book just dragged and dragged. I got tired of always being in the protagonist's head, 'listening' to him rambling and musing about not that interesting things.

Maybe I'll give it another try a few years from now.
