The Unbearable Lightness of Being

I guess it’s probably a sign the book isn’t that great when a dog ends up being your favorite character.

I’ll admit that parts this book went a bit over my head, but the parts I did understand weren’t that enjoyable.

There were a lot of moments where Kundera forgot the “show don’t tell” rule of writing. Yes, there are many cases where authors break this rule to great success, but I don’t consider this novel to be one of them.

Unfortunately, The Unbearable Lightness of Being ventures into “I’m 15 and this is deep” territory too many times to be good.
