The Almost Moon: A Novel
by Alice Sebold
Terrible (3/10/2022)
As much as I wished to relish this book, I discerned it to be quite deplorable. Affirmative, I genuinely do sympathize with the woman, as she is a neurotic with illogical decision-making. ASPD describes an individual who shows patterns of manipulation and violation to others and this main character reflects these traits accurately. However, indubitably if the reader so chooses to believe in the factual sense - based on how they perceive this novel; this book is deplorable. The antagonizing and excruciating poor-timed flashbacks serve well in portraying how mentally ignorant and dull-witted this character is, causing the reader to procure a great sense of disgust of this book and to despise the poor performance this author has done, as well as the author herself. She wasted a multitudinous amount of irremediable paper and resources. This novel is an utter failure but accurately portrayed the entitled perception of what insanity is like from a falsely hopeful author who attempted to insolently reflect this mindset of a true psychopath.
