Danielle’s Reviews > The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating > Status Update

It's aggravating because there are so many amazing books out there that I want to get to- and when someone publishes, I feel like they're saying, "hey! I have something worth your time." But she doesn't in this book. Instead, she has thrown together a sloppy story and checked off "publish a book" on her bucket list.

Simply put, this book is written very poorly. Her integration of quotes and outside sources is forced and choppy, taking you outside of the narration. It's like she is telling a pretty good story with her observations and her personal experiences, but to actually publish something she needed it to be longer so she went back and found some quotes and just dumped them into her journal.
