Frustrating reading experience
I just spent the last few hours trying to get into this new novel I picked up, but the writing style is really throwing me off. The author's use of overly complex sentences and constant jumping between different character perspectives is making it hard for me to follow the plot. I've been looking forward to reading this book for weeks, but now I'm starting to think it's just not for me. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience with a book that they were really excited about, only to be let down by the writing style? I'm wondering if I'm just being too picky or if there's something actually wrong with the way this book is written.
