It took me too long to finally get to this book. People talk about how it's sort of a classic in terms of like books you read in high school. I listened to it. The person reading was fantastic. The writing and her voice went really well together. I liked this book. Towards the end I got bored. The towns people were pissing me off. The writing felt a little long winded. The first part of the book about Kya's life was heart breaking, but well written because I was so sad for her and with her. I have yet to watch the movie, so now I can watch it. Otherwise, this was a good read (technically listen).
All the hype over the book and the movie that came out I expected a better book. I was really disappointed. I won’t be watching the movie.
nah that was forreal one of the hardest books i read and i just need to know if she did it or not.
Rating of the book alone, although I struggled to separate this from the author. Also I had the ending spoiled so I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't
⭐️4It surprised me how much I enjoyed this book. I found this to be a beautifully written book with well-developed characters that kept me enthralled for the most part. As you read the book, you find yourself unable to put it down. Kya Clark struggles with some harrowing and heart-breaking stuff. You cannot help but feel for her as she navigates life alone in the 1950s and 1960s off the coast of North Carolina in the marsh area. As a character, I just couldn't help but feel an emotional attachment to her. I believe this is a testament to Delia Owens' remarkable ability to string words together to create meaning on a page. Everything about the storytelling is flawless.The book falls short of being a 5 star read because there were things I wasn't too keen on or didn't enjoy. One was how slow the book started off. Due to how slow the story started, it took some time for me to get into the story. In addition, there were parts of the book that were overly detailed that I zoned out. This was especially true of the courtroom scenes, since I had no interest in the man who died. Lastly, I was a tad disappointed with the ending; it just didn't blow me away and left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.In spite of this, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book. One of my favourite reads of this year.
A beautifully written book that made me read more than 100 pages every time i picked it up.
Es un libro completamente adictivo, lo escuche en menos de 3 días. Toda la ambientación te hace meterte de lleno en el libro y con las ganas de saber la vida de la protagonista, y obvio el misterio que se desarrolla. Sin embargo, ella es el verdadero centro de atención, donde te interesas por su conexión con los animales y el mar, el amor y desamor que vive y finalmente, toda clase de pensamientos y reflexiones en torno a la soledad, discriminación, etc. Un libro increíble.
