How’s it going? I haven’t forgotten the book of the month in June, in fact I finished The Death of the Poet* quite quickly, but the novel left me somehow conflicted, which made it hard for me to work on the review. I started writing straight after I finished reading and I couldn’t really find the best words for my review. So I thought I should give it a bit of time and some distance - to clear my mind and to become objective again.
Objective again? Well, yes some parts of the novel are very intense and involved me emotionally. At certain times I was outraged about the bossy female lead or upset about the passiveness of the main character, but this only showed me, how well written The Death of the Poet is.
