Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson
My rating: 3/5 cats
i give it a three even though i enjoyed reading it in a four star cat kind of way. the three star cat means there are better books by her out there, but that this one is fun, if imperfect. and it’s a shame, because she really tells a good story. this one was just a little too ambitious with what it was trying to squeeze in, and there were too many storylines that either didn’t connect gracefully, or had to be absorbed by inference. does that make sense?? i am inarticulate. towards the end it gets especially bumpy with several tacked-on epilogue-y things that broke up my reading flow. in conclusion, this is like Behind the Scenes at the Museum, but with a more experimental form that kind of breaks it.
