Review of 'Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I'm giving up at 40% and still counting it as read since it was so painful to get this far. Some of the prose in parts sparkles with a grumpy edginess, so at least 2 stars; but more than half the book so far are unhinged PETA-terrorist rants and glorification of astrology. At "young people have a religious zeal believing in statistics" I gave up. Too bad I listened to the audiobook so I can throw this piece of garbage into a corner.

Review of 'Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Ich war zwischendrin versucht, fünf Sterne zu vergeben, schon weil die Geschichte aus einer (zumindest für meine Leseverhältnisse) sehr seltenen Perspektive erzählt wird, nämlich von einer astrologiegläubigen alten Frau. Was ich auch immer sehr zu schätzen weiß, ist die späte Darreichung von Informationen, die schlechtere Autorinnen auf den ersten beiden Seiten untergebracht hätten. Den Schluss im "ich habe euch alle hier in der Bibliothek versammelt"-Stil fand ich dann aber ein bisschen zu glatt.

4.5 stars

A compelling story and intriguing story about injustice, animal rights, feminism, corruption and hypocrisy, especially in traditional religion. Tokarczuk writing is distinctive and original, dark and witty, and Antonia Lloyd-Jones has done a remarkable job in capturing the sensitive and melancholic prose in the English translation.
