DNF at 63%.
Somehow I thought I'd like this more but it didn't grab my attention. Well that's a lie, it did for the first 15% or so. I loved the fact it was set somewhere other than America or England, like most other books I've read, and having been to Prague myself, it was interesting reading a story set there. I loved that she was an artist and drew both halves of her life; Zuzana and Brimstone but they never mixed and she had to juggle her life.
But then it all went a little odd for me. I think it was a sort of fantasy that didn't gel with me. It's not really a genre I like too much, which took me a long time to figure out.
The plot was difficult for me to gel with too. I think it was the mystery aspect. Not having any idea of Karou's background. It was like she just appeared one day.
I wasn't sure how I felt about the characters either. I cant say I felt a connection to any of them.
Not for me.

Awix (3310 KP) rated On the Town (1949) in Movies
Nov 15, 2020
Made in 1949, and you can almost taste the buoyancy and optimism of post-war America: there are no social issues to be explored in this film, which is all about being young and carefree and enjoying yourself. Subverts expectations by having some of the girls be much more romantically pro-active than the boys they encounter; this is rather charming and funny. Still, one of those musicals where a lot of the songs are slightly forgettable, but Gene Kelly and Ann Miller dance up a storm every time they get the chance. It's almost pure froth, but rather touching and enormously likeable.
