Book Review: THE SILENCE OF THE GIRLS by Pat Barker

The Silence of the GirlsThe Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I wanted so badly to like this book. The reviews from the ones who read the ARCs were good, and there was so much hype! And so I bought the hardbound edition on sight.

Big mistake.

The only thing to recommend it is that it's told from a woman's perspective.

But the writing was shoddy. The language jarring in its modernity. And it was confusing how often the protagonist's voices would change from first person to third person, depending on the chapter.

I expected so much more.

Verdict? Don't waste your time nor your money on this one. There are far better books out there.

(One star out of five... And only because it had a pretty cover)
