Normal People by Sally RooneyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really easy read. The language and sentence structure was kind of jarring at first, but I'm really glad I stuck it through. I enjoyed Sally's succinct descriptions of the weather and the thoughts that characters had, which I could often sympathize with. I am curious as to what disorder Marianne has, and it is the same curiosity that compelled me to finish the book. I am not disappointed!
reading this book has made me want to write a book with a longitudinal timeline. With characters going places, doing things, thinking thoughts, experiencing the beauty of life. Going through different phases of relationships. That is what this book is about. I got a similar feeling from reading The World At Noon. The things they say to each other are simplistic and candid. It’s like me saying to my friend, “hey. i dont mean to be rude or anything, its just a thought. But your last name really sounds like the word schnoz when i read it in my mind.”
