See Featured Authors Answering Questions. Denise Bogard asked:. To answer questions about Fates and Furies , please sign up. Guineveruca I am relieved to see this question. I'm 2 chapters in and, while it's an easy enough read, there is nothing enjoyable about the book. The writing is highly contrived and does nothing to make the main character sympathetic or even interesting. Life just sort of happens to this charmed-yet-cursed make up your mind already boy. The set up for the marriage that is supposed to be this amazing relationship between these amazing people? Don't care. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to plow through, or if this will be another Lovely Bones, where a really terrible book gets inexplicable accolades from all corners.

Brown Girl Reading. The first part focuses on Lotto -- the big egotistical son of a wealthy Florida family -- and his perspective on life with Matilde -- his intense love, mixed in with self absorption and neediness. He calls his mother Muvva!

Possibly if this novel wasn't as long I might have had a chance to directly feel more about each of the characters.. And succeed. I am really concerned for him on the next book, and I just want them to go to their cabin and drink pepermint tea all day. Just go and read it. And this play is no flash in the pan, either. So disappointed. Don't care. I like learning a few new words, but there were a LOT here, sometimes two or more to a page. Not a bit. Scheuerer's strength lies in her ability to create rich and multifaceted characters. The prose is bad. Literary fiction often seems to generate mixed reviews on Goodreads.

Still, people talk about it. Critics love it, or — even better — debate its merits. Like Gone Girl , Fates and Furies is about a marriage in which each partner has a radically disparate view, not just of their union, but of the type of narrative constituted by their lives.

Please excuse my language. Lakshmikanthan Aiyyakan Second half is worth a read. I seriously doubt I will ever be tempted to pick up another book by this author; We're clearly not a fit for one another. On the positive note This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. Truth, you wily coyote. Want to Read saving…. It was the best kind of emotional rollercoaster. It made my mind love the play of back and forth, as I looked at two versions of one event—pure delight.
