Loved this clever masterpiece!
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton may be one of the most confusing books I have ever read, but I absolutely loved it and its uniqueness!
This book is confusing as heck, there are so many moving pieces and different people that I am actually amazed the author was even able to make sense of it. But it was also completely brilliant and unlike anything I have ever read in my life. I had initially started the book back when it first came out, but I couldn't get into it, so I eventually set it aside thinking I'd pick it up later. Well now I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to get back to it! I decided to do the audio this time and I think that is something that really helped me. I really enjoyed the narrator, James Cameron Stewart, and the way he read the book really got me in the mood for it, so to speak.
If you are not into books that might confuse you, you may not like The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, but I highly encourage anyone who thinks this sounds interesting to pick it up. It was witty, clever, and completely surprising. There are a few revels that I didn't see coming, and I loved the experience this book offered me. The fact that this is a debut novel also blew me away, and if you read it you will see why. I'm very excited to see Turton has a new book coming out in 2020 and I will certainly not wait as long to read it this time!
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an advance review copy of this book, all opinions and thoughts are my own.
