A review by zoevjester
The World and All That It Holds by Aleksandar Hemon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

This is such a hard book to read - if it isn't the style, with the lack of speech quotations, the constant back and forth between past and present and psychological metaphors, the massively chunky paragraphs, then it's the content of it itself. 
Reading about WW1 is never a joyful thing, and the descriptions of war-torn bodies is visceral. I don't think I'll ever continue this book because it brought me no form of enjoyment and life is too short to read books you don't like.
