One night an
eighteen-year-old Irish girl, recently arrived in London to attend
drama school, meets an older man - a well-regarded actor in his own
right. While she is naive and thrilled by life in the big city, he is
haunted by more than a few demons, and the clamorous relationship
that ensues risks undoing them both. A captivating story of passion
and innocence, joy and discovery set against the vibrant atmosphere
of 1990s London over the course of a single year, THE LESSER
BOHEMIANS glows with the eddies and anxieties of growing up, and the
transformative intensity of a powerful new love.
I tried. I really really tried. I made it as far as page ten and gave up. I don't know what exactly was going through Ms. McBride's head when she wrote this, but it's entirely impossible for me to follow.
I only made it as far as page ten before I gave up and couldn't continue. The sentence structure made no sense, the fact that there were sentences in a different size threw me off. The last straw was that I just couldn't follow the dialogue at all. It's almost like this person was mentally challenged some how and could not form proper sentences. I know human beings rarely thing in grammatically correct sentences, but at least they make sense. This did not.
I gave what I did read of this a 1/5, and just DNF'd the rest of it because it was giving me a headache. I will probably not pick up anything else by Eimear McBride. I received this book from Blogging for Books in return for an honest review.
