When We Were Romans by Matthew Kneale
1.0
Almost DNF, it was interesting at first but then it just lost me. I would say about halfway through I just couldn’t wait for it to be over. It was like watching a car accident in slow motion, I couldn’t look away but it was bad. I hoped it would get better, but it didn’t. I’ve read other books from a child’s perspective, and they were better than this one. The spelling errors were really annoying to read, it took longer to figure out what was really being said. I’m not sure what the point of this book was, what is the take away? Was it about mental illness? It certainly doesn’t end well. Any who, I surprised I finished this one.
Also, I’m frustrated that anyone would compare this book to the curious incident, because in my mind there is no comparison.
