My Brilliant Friend

My Brilliant Friend

by Elena Ferrante 


Reviewed by EA 

Everyone raves about this series, so I was ready to love this book. I couldn't finish it! I got to page 172 and felt like torture. I found the writing to be stilted and there was no plot. I didn't like the characters either, and there were just too many to keep track of.  Disappointing!
