I have Confessions of the Damaged 1.1 and I haven't gone far with it. The reason is it needs a lot of concentration for me to follow and I'm lazy. I know it's a great book and I felt the intensity from the beginning but my short attention span always deters me. Whenever I pick it up, I start again and that's because I don't want to miss any point. It's not a book I can read casually.
I have more books that I find complex but never get to read. One of such is The Interpreters by a Nigerian author, Wole Soyinka. When I eventually gave it my 100% attention and read it, it was fulfilling. His writing style is complex, yes, but he's a great writer. That's the vibe I got from your novel too.
I really hope I can dedicate time to read it beginning to end and give a proper feedback. I feel bad because you gifted it to me.
I totally understand. That's actually why I split the novel up, though even 40 pages requires way more time and concentration than most people can afford these days. So much demands our attention and so much deserves it!
I think if you rear each chapter as a separate story, it’ll be easier to get though, but no pressure, ya?
Whenever you get a chance! ❤️
I think you’ll enjoy it, you are exactly the kind of person I hope likes it 😆. Once again, no pressure!
I suspect most people are the same, too overhwlemed by stimuli and therefore “lazy”, and honestly I’m the same with everyone’s blog too.
