I ignored all of you and started reading it yesterday. So far, I really like it.

I was excited to read Trust, this year's Pulitzer Prize winner, and yet--about 20 pages into the second narrator, I started wondering, "How is this part that different than the previous part?" My mom and friend are coincidentally reading it at the same time, and we're all having this same bewildered reaction, and not sure if we're going to finish it--but it's a Pulitzer Prize winner! I usually like their selections. I get that there's going to be a critique of capitalism, and sure, limited gender roles, but....is there something to look forward to here? I want someone to tell me what they liked about it!

Pulitzer Prize does not guarantee enjoyment. Demon Copperhead was also a Pulitzer Prize winner and on Oprah’s list. Well, I think they picked a stinker!

I read it.

I actually liked the same story from different perspective.

But the writing - ugh! The entire thing read to me like it was being spoke. In monotone.

Concept and plot = interesting
Writing = bad

It was a strange book - I recommended it to a friend that is in finance - thought he would like the story about one family influencing the great depression, etc, I thought the book was interesting but a slog and I wanted to put it down several times. Didn't know it won the prize - that must have been recently? I believe this is the first book I read in 2023 so 6 months ago.

I just finished it and really liked it. I wish there had been more about Ida’s relationships which were more interesting to me than Andrew and Mildred’s.
