The Idiot by Elif Batuman

4.0

It tells a story about a Turkish girl named Selin. She was a freshman at Harvard. Isn't that interesting already? This is a slow-paced book and I'm not a big fan of slow-paced books. But, this one is an exception.

I kinda lost the plot on the first pages since it told a story about Selin's daily life; it went to the details on the classes she took and re-tells a story of Nina in Serbia. However, I had no idea what major she took because she went to literature class, Russian, even math?! I just figured out that she took linguistic on the very last page
