Celine: A novel | Peter Heller
post image
Panpan

Heller‘s prose had serious potential but the never ending storylines and rambling tangents all seem to have #nothingincommon with one another or the major plot line. Add in a disastrously constructed mystery, a female MC very poorly written by a man, and some far-fetched situations (an old lady with emphysema scaring off a drunk, rowdy biker gang 🙄), and you have yourself this failure of a novel.

Leftcoastzen Sounds like a train wreck. 6y
mrsh62010 Haha 6y
JamieArc I‘ve seen other reviews similar to yours. So disappointing (that it‘s bad). This book really piqued my interest but after seeing so many negative reviews, no time to give it a shot. 6y

Billypar But on the plus side....such an entertaining Litsy review 😃 6y
BarbaraBB Great review. Clearly I won‘t read it 😉 6y
Cinfhen This book sounds terrible, I think Steph liked it?!?!! I know your mom gave it a Pan too!!! 6y
Kalalalatja Yeah, I‘m taking a hard pass on this! 6y
Susannah I'm sorry it was so disappointing. I read his book, The Painter, a couple of years ago in which every woman was ga-ga about the male MC. I cannot imagine what Heller would do with a female MC. Just ... no. 😖 (edited) 6y
Mdargusch I definitely panned it @Cinfhen since I skimmed 1/3 of it. Perfect for this prompt! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y
Reviewsbylola I definitely didn‘t hate it (I think I gave it three stars) but now I‘m starting to think maybe I went too easy on it. 😂 @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen It's ok @Reviewsbylola YOU are just an extremely GENEROUS person 😘but honestly this book sounds TERRIBLE @Mdargusch @emilyhaldi 6y
Mdargusch I kind of wish you would read it @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @Kalalalatja so you can join us on the #hatetrain 6y
BarbaraBB @Mdargusch Haha, I know that feeling but I still think I‘ll pass 😉😘 6y
Cinfhen I'm already #OnBoard the #HateTrain @Mdargusch I'm trusting you & @emilyhaldi 6y
