Chipless by Kfir Luzzatto is a good book. It took me a bit longer to read this one but I don’t mind. Mr. Luzzatto was able to make a very compelling story. We had two main characters Kal and Amber and it was told in the point of view of the third person. This book is very different from other books like it.
What I liked:
Kal is an interesting character. He has spent most of his life in The City and thanks to that he is naive to so many things, that no one else but people living in The City, would be naive about. He is also very important for both sides in this book. Amber is another interesting character. As she grew up outside of The City and only went in for her own personal reasons. Of course, that all goes south because of Kal and she has to get him to safety. Reluctantly at first but that’s the way it goes. There is a certain part in this book that reminds me of Mad Max: Fury Road. Mostly with how the cars look. I think that writing this novel in the third person point of view works best. I don’t think it would have held my attention if it was first person point of view. Even if Mr. Luzzatto went back and forth between Kal and Amber.
What I didn’t like:
I didn’t like how Kal and Amber kept on getting separated and how they had to find each other. This happens a lot. Sometimes I didn’t like how Amber was treating Kal and especially forcing him to do things that he didn’t like. Even though it did help them survive. I didn’t like the slow pace that was going on for most of the book. I mean I get for world-building. However, if it makes me fall asleep then that’s no good.
What I am curious about:
Was what Kal did good enough? Will they be able to stop The City?
Four Stars
Chipless by Kfir Luzzatto is a good book and one that I am giving four stars. The reason for the four stars is that I was able to set it aside for days and I didn’t think about the book or the characters as often as I would have liked. I would recommend this book to anyone that reads this type of genre.
