The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw
This was one crazy book. What I did enjoy the book was how off the wall, out of the ordinary it was. The story is centered around two kooky people: Ida, a girl who has slowly begun to turn to glass from her feet working upward and Midas, a boy who is an amateur photographer who has massive family issues from his past and some experience with the strange island this takes place on.
What kept me from enjoying the book as much as I had hoped to was how confusing it was. There was so much random weird stuff going on and so much hopping between flashbacks to the present without any warning or clarification that it was a flashback that I spent most of the book being confused as to what was actually happening.
Finally toward the end everything came together a bit, but by then the book had really lost me and I was just pushing to get to the end of the book. I didn’t feel that connection I like to feel with the characters, especially when I can sense something tragic about to happen and instead of feeling heavily impacted by the turn of the story I felt mildly affected.
Interesting premise, strange way of going about telling the story.
What a pity! I had high expectations for this book. Thank you for your interesting review!
That sounds interesting, I would never have guessed that was what this book would be about!
