Andrea Levy - The Long Song


Rating: 3/5

Review:
Not for me

I almost feel I should apologise for not getting on with The Long Song. I can see that it’s well written with an original voice, that it’s a well-constructed narrative and that, obviously it deals with extremely important issues. It’s just that for some reason I didn’t engage with it at all.

I can’t really explain this; it’s just something that happens occasionally with books and no matter how well done it is, it just doesn’t do it for me. This is plainly just a very personal response so don’t let me put anyone off because many others think it’s brilliant. Personally, though, it’s not a book I liked.
