Book Review: If You'd Just Listened to Me in the First Place


Title: If You'd Just Listened to Me in the First Place

Author: Barbara Venkataraman

Genre: Short Story/ fiction

Review:

So this piece of literature would probably fall within the "short story" genre, clocking in at just about 25 pages. It was a delightful read and I zapped right through it in about half an hour. The narrator's voice is very prominent and adds a nice flare to the writing. The main character (aka, the narrator), does tend to get very excited and sometimes dramatic; normally, this would bother me if it was a full length novel. However, because this wasn't, the narrator's dramatization of the plot embellishes the read and kept me interested.
