![]() ![]() The story weighs heavy on my mind and my heart. Olive Kitteridge is a very depressing book. Warning: A few small spoilers beyond this point. ![]() Lacking that type of complicated system, I gave it a three. If I could simultaneously give it 4 ½ stars for quality and 1 ½ stars for enjoyment, I would. But it was an extremely well-written novel that provoked many emotions in me, and for that I commend Strout. My four and five star books have to earn their status.īut today, I’m having trouble with the star system, because I did not “like” Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize winning book Olive Kitteridge. ![]() If I give a book three stars, then I liked it, plain and simple. I’ve heard people say things like, “I have to really hate a book to give it less than three stars,” and, “You only gave it three stars? Oh, I liked it.” These things confuse me. If you hover your little mouse over the stars, it gives you the key. Let me start by saying that I take the Goodreads rating system literally. This is the most confusing book review I’ve ever written. ![]()
