The narration is in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style and it keeps jumping around between the present and various points in the past. On top of that, the narrator/main character is not at all likable, but the author also doesn't really provide any compelling reason for why we should read her story. I hoped that something would come through in the end that caused it all to make sense. But there was nothing. I can't really recommend this one. ( ) I hated the first quarter of this book. Elsie is a difficult character to read about; she is overprivileged, entitled, shallow, whiny, and continually makes bad life choices. I don't generally have a problem with unlikable protagonists, but her self-absorption could be hard to take. But I do think she developed some layers as the book went on, and she was self-aware enough to realize a lot of her own faults. I probably wouldn't have put this on the First Novel longlist, but I will be looking out for Tennant-Moore's next novel. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I started reading this a few days ago. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and it was a LibraryThing giveaway that I should have read and reviewed long ago. I'm on a mission to clear books off my TBR shelf (very slowly) and picked this up but 30 pages in and I'm giving up. There's nothing wrong with the writing - it's definitely a very confident, young voice. Maybe it's just not for me. But after getting through some 30 pages, I realized that I really didn't care for the narrator or her story and that I've got plenty more books to spend my reading time on.I had some major issues with the book; tried to explain it in this review. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This was a very enjoyable read. I found the main character both intriguing and real; I felt her pain and understood her life's struggle as she searched for her answers. The writing is strong and the settings, characters, and storyline was excellent. I would recommend this to any readers who have searched to find their own answers in life. Premi e riconoscimenti
Nominated for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Nominated for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize A boldly candid, raw portrait of a young woman's search for meaning and purpose in an indifferent world Purposefully aimless, self-destructive, and impulsively in and out of love, Elsie is a young woman who feels lost. She's in a tumultuous relationship, is stuck in a dead-end job, and has a relentless, sharp intelligence that's at odds with her many bad decisions. When her initial attempts to improve her life go awry, Elsie decides that a dramatic change is the only solution. While traveling through Paris and Sri Lanka, Elsie meets people who challenge and provoke her towards the change she is seeking, but ultimately she must still come face-to-face with herself. Whole-hearted, fiercely honest and inexorably human, Wreck and Order is a stirring debut novel that, in mirroring one young woman's dizzying quest for answers, illuminates the important questions that drive us all.
