Faces in The Crowd – ??!!?

Faces in the crowd by   . I don’t even know yet.. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t an enjoyable novel but it was very hard to read, or to understand. It was fine during the first part, when the narrator was describing about her life in New York city, all the interesting characters and young […]

wtf is happening? – faces in the crowd?

  Hi Everyone! Many of the novels we have read so far have been confusing for me in the beginning, but then make sense as I get further along in the book. There had always been a point that I begin to understand what exactly is going on….

Kinda Like the Gag Where There’s a Box Inside of a Box, Inside of a Bigger Box, Except There’s 5 Boxes in the Aforementioned Big Box, and Those Boxes are Broken Into Smaller Pieces of Box, and Scattered Haphazardly Around the Big Box so That It’s Rlly Hard For Your to Figure Out Which Box Pieces Fit Together – Faces In the Crowd by Valeria Luiselli

Confusing is a word I would use to describe this book. Faces In the Crowd was a pretty experimental story and perspective into storytelling and what is true or not.  Even though I can see the appeal in this kind of meta book in a book where you never really know what the author is […]

We’ve been tricked! “Faces in the Crowd” a 3-in-1 Book

At last, we have arrived at our last book of the semester (summer is near we can do it!) and what a way to end! ‘Faces in the Crowd’ by Valeria Luiselli was an interesting read, it had many layers of story-telling that was only made (semi) clear to me after I had watch the […]

My Face is Just Confused – Faces in the Crowd (Week 12)

 This book was a bit of a shock to me. First I want to say I’m actually a fan of Luiselli. I’ve already read “Tell Me How it Ends” and “The Lost Children Archive” and loved them. However, this book was a big miss for me. I didn’t get what was goin…

The Most Challenging Novel of the Semester? – Faces in the Crowd

For my final reading this semester, I read “Faces in the Crowd” by Valeria Luiselli. As I am sure many of us can relate, this book was quite confusing and to some extent hard to follow along. I did not seem to get into the book like I hoped to and found myself putting it […]
