[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started Hamnet and I can not mesh with the writing style. It feels so over the top. I'm sad because so many people seem to love it, but I think it's a DNF for me. Or should I give it another chance. [/quote] I've been trying to read Hamnet since November - well, I haven't actually picked up the book since DEcember, so not trying too terribly hard. I just can't get into it. Maybe I know too much of the plot and don't want to get emotionally involved? But I find the writing style to be distancing - being too much of an observer and not in the story. And then yes, overwrought. It sits on my night standand night after night mocking me. [/quote] Give up and watch the movie.[/quote]
