Review : A suicide song by Wanda HartzenbergThis is a difficult review to write because I'm genuinely torn about my feelings for this book. The writing itself is beautiful, poetic and captivating, it's actually a: dare I say it, "brilliant piece of writing", but emotionally I can't do it. The story however, left me feeling wrecked it's too much for me. I didn't like it at all, not that there is actually anything wrong with it, it just touched a nerve. Fortunately it was a very short story, and under normal circumstances I don't like short stories, but in this instance I was thankful it was only short, otherwise I really don't think I would have been able to finish it.And so to the rating: When I started reviewing I decided on a very basic rating process, nothing technical or complicated just basic categories.I loved it and plan to read it again? 5*I might read it again, would defiantly recommend it to friends to read and will keep and eye out for other books by the same author 4*It was ok, I have no intentions to read again and won't be hunting for other books by the author, but I might still recommend it. 3*I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend it to others and won't be looking for other books by the author? 2*I hated it that much I couldn't even finish it? 1*And there is the quandary in rating this book. The writing style itself is definitely 5* but I really didn't like the book and that would usually put it in the 2* category. Except... I would recommend it to others and I will look out for other books by the author (with different content obviously) so that puts it somewhere between the 3*&4* so to be true and honest to myself this is a book I didn't like(at all) and I definitely won't be reading it again, but I would recommend it to others and I will still read other books by the author. Hence I think an appropriate rating would be 3* have a read for yourself and let me know your thoughts.~WaAr~
