On Such a Full Sea
by Chang-rae Lee
Jumpy writing style (6/20/2021)
I understand and appreciate the story the author was conveying, but the writing styling and jumping narrative made many parts of this novel difficult to follow/ understand. New characters would be quickly introduced and become main characters without their back story being given until chapters later, and then in a blink of an eye, they were no longer part of the story and the reader is left trying to figure out who this new set of characters are. But just like the priors, by the time the reader understands who they are, they are no longer in the story. Not an easy read, and I would say not really worth the time it took to keep myself motivated to finish the book.
