Final thoughts on Eva Luna

Thoughts on Eva Luna


 To be honest this book peaked my interest barley. It didn't really suck me in and immerse me in something i wanted to read. I found it quite dull and not appealing. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 on my scale. I was more drawn into 1001 nights, and was disappointed that we only read four stories before going into Eva Luna. Though since we are switching to the Grimms tales next i am excited and would be pleased to interact in class more. That aside Eva Luna had several different traits that i was fond of, I liked how some of the story was told through Evas first person view; it made it easier to follow. I also liked the fast movement that the story provided, the Characters would be moving at a fast pace and always switching settings. Nobody would be in one place long and i feel thats what attributed to Evas story telling skills. Her wisdom she gained from bouncing from place to place and being exposed to different settings I believe aided her story telling because of the things shes done and seen. I really had no interest in Evas love interest in the story, though i do feel like her and Rolf are good for each other and they work the best out of the other couple guys she had relationships with. All in all the story was okay and not my cup of tea. I didn't really bring me in or grab my attention but it was an okay book.
