A review by beccajdb
An Olive Grove in Ends by Moses McKenzie

Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.

Everyone is amazed by the talent of this 23-year-old writer (according to the praise on the covers). I’m sure he will be a great writer, but this is a terrible mishmash of street slang and learnt lyrical prose - things are always ‘upon’ not ‘on’, ‘atop’, ‘ for’ not ‘ because’.  Too much pretentious trying to sound like a writer made it unreadable for me.
