I didn’t know Sinclair Lewis had it in him to write this fun, a quite funny travel tale, as well as the story of a young lady finding what is truly important to her!
Gumbo
The first chapter is a complete mess, from describing food & driving in the same context to the confusing sentence structure... I couldn't get past the second page & re-read page 1 four different times in an attempt to read this book:( The summary looked interesting, but in this case... Looks are very deceiving.
Ugh.
Ugh. I started this book, and I don't even understand the first page! I tried the whole chapter, but I struggled. Hard. Hard to understand. So if you are a top-notch genius- one of those people who like to use big words to make people feel stupid- I suggest reading this book.
