A review by kaseymcaleavey
West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge
2.0
Only reason I finished this book was because it was for book club.
I absolutely hated the layout/formatting. The quoting of the main guy just to have that be the opening sentence. The prologue being played out in the first chapter. The “interruptions” of his writing seemed repetitive and didn’t further any plot except that he was dying which could have been done in the beginning. Also the chapters were unbearably long.
Felt like it was trying too hard to be the Notebook meets Water for Elephants without any of the love story or originality.
