mcctrish Lots of describy words is right. Honestly do we even know and like V? It seems like we went zero to 60 with this guy and it‘s only when we can‘t have him that we LLLLOOOVVVEEE him, he‘s been an obsessive from the start #redflag #alertnoisessounding this is giving extreme YA vibes 1mo

The Shape of the Ruins | Juan Gabriel V�squez

pick

The narrator of the story is the author himself, and who is very successful in weaving together Colombian socio-political situation from the past, with his personal, intimate moments from the present. Throughout the story runs several themes (parenthood, writing, violence...), which are background for one large topic - conspiracy theories. Interesting story, dynamic structure, but unfortunately in the middle parts the story starts to lose ... 👇

Simona ... its narrative power because of slow pacing. More heavy-handed editing, and that would be 5 ⭐️ book. #ManBookerInternationalPrize #MBIP2019 (edited) 6y

Cinfhen This book sounds great but #pagecountphobia and slow pacing are definitely #RedFlag for me🚩🚩🚩 6y

NOPE | Drew Sheneman

What word or phrase in a description will turn you right off to a book - or at least set up a hurdle for you to overcome in your reading? I think my two biggest red flags are "coming of age" and "family saga". ??
