a reliable wife by robert

are we sure william kent krueger didn’t write this? i hated it. i wanted to like it, i really did. i found the beginning very beautifully written, on a technical level at least, but then he got lazy with it, and even that was gone. this whole thing could have been done in 7 pages. i could break down bit by bit why i didn’t like this, but i don’t think my criticism will be any different than my reviews of the krueger novels. it felt like a 15 year old boy asked a genie to grant him the wish of being a good writer, but the trick is he’s 15, so even though he can write lyrically, he still has nothing to say, because he lacks the life experience to have anything of substance to convey. there’s definitely a theme about desire here, but ,,, nothing else, and even the desire talk is so boring and repetitive. i was promised “twists and turns” by the book jacket, but everything that was to happen was obvious in the first 50 pages. i gotta stop reading books my friends recommend to me !!! i gotta go back to the classics !! these contemporary shit storms will be the death of my love for reading. 4/10
