The Idiot by Elif Batuman

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I wanted to love this book.
I think i pretty much enjoyed the first few pages and having the same eagerness of finding life in campus. but then i find it a bit too tedious to carry on.
and what make it worst…i turned to the last page…and the last paragraph really hit me.

“….They had let me down. I hadn’t learned what I had wanted to about how language worked. I hadn’t learned anything at all.”

and with that, i see no point in continuing…at the moment.. perhaps i will take it up again and indulge in it.

the idiot has sparked no joy for me. #konmari
