Book Review: The Kingdom of This World by Alejo Carpentier

Posted on April 2, 2018April 7, 2022
Topics: Novels / Fiction

Rating: 4.0/10.

Book about the Haitian revolution, originally written in Spanish and translated to English. Although the topic is interesting, the writing is confusing, uses too much unfamiliar vocabulary, and it was hard to follow what was going on. At least it was short, with less than 200 pages. I’m not sure why this has positive reviews.
