Ne baš tajni e-mailovi Coco Pinchard by Robert Bryndza

4.0

3.5 Well, I needed a break from classics, and I love epistolary novels (or e-mail novels in modern literature), so I picked this up for some light entertainment. I was surprised how characters were well developed and the family dynamics in a bad family situation jumps from tragic to comic and back. The book seemed promising and the style is easy to read. It had some interesting insights into entertainment and publishing world, I thought it would be my new surprising favorite. But then it turned to absurd, soapy mess, like a draft of the novel before a harsh, but needed editing. So, the last third of the book was just for me to go through and finish the novel. It was what I expected, light and entertaining, but it could have been so much more, it had material enough and the characters (Ethel and Rosencratz especially) were there to support a good mix of humor and tragedy, but it turned into a totally different book in the end, purposefully absurd and disconnected from its story. Still, I'm glad I've read it.
