Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was kind of a heavy story. I wasn’t going to read it since the bookclub meeting for it was cancelled. It arrived from the library when I didn’t have other holds coming in, so I decided to read it anyway.
The first half of the story was on the slow side, but was enjoyable. Halfway through the book, the entire feeling of the book changed. It became an adventure that I wasn’t expecting. Many parts of it were stressful, but I needed to know what happened, so I finished it. I am glad I did.
I wasn’t thrilled with the way it ended, but I was kind of expecting it to end that way.
I don’t know that I would pick up other books by this author, although she wrote beautifully. It just wasn’t my usual genre.
