Book 79: My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante


This is the first in a series which seems to get raves everywhere, and I enjoyed it, but not to the rave extent.  Nicely written and characters interesting enough to want to see where it went (though I did find I got a bit confused about who was who, even with the handy guide at the beginning - partly because everyone seems to go by at least two names) but I don't think I'll be following through with the rest of the series. I didn't dislike it, I just didn't love it.
