Review of 'Disappearing Earth' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

It’s been a long time since a book made me this angry. Based on strong reviews, I pushed myself through the slog of meandering stories and character studies with no clear connection to each other. I thought I could see how the book was moving towards a surprising and interesting conclusion, but NOPE. The ending is just as unsatisfying as the pages that preceded it. I do not understand why this book was so well-reviewed.
