Customer Reviews
Confusing but decent
The actual story is good, and the book is well-written, but I struggled with the constant back and forth jump in years between chapters and narrators. I couldn’t remember what had happened to who and when! I would have found it better if each year was done at the same time, a chapter for each brother’s perspective, and then moving forward chronologically. There ended up being quite a lot of repetition, and no real twists and surprises. The death scene was also a bit anticlimactic.
Crap
Don’t bother.
Absolutely waste of my time reading this.
