A review by capyval
La Amiga Estupenda by Elena Ferrante

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
Well... This book is not my style at all, I didn't like the writing style, I didn't find the characters and situations interesting at all.

The format of the book, as far as I could read, consisted in Elena narrating episodes, in particular the ones that included a dear friend of her. Those episodes would involve a lot of people, and very little dialogue. There was some violence and gore in those, although it was moderate, ultimately they didn't depict a very happy life. This is not the content that I'm looking to read right now, but anyway, I don't think I will give this book a second chance in the future because I find it very boring and tedious to read.
