I really don't get the love for Elena Ferrante. My Brilliant Friend was a terrible book, and the translation was embarrassing, I thought. 💙📚 #booksky

I don't read Italian, but surely there's a better way to differentiate between dialects than writing, 'she spoke in street slang, he replied in the traditional language' every time a character speaks. 💙📚
I might not have noticed this sort of thing if the book was actually good, but I disliked the characters so much that I quickly lost interest in the story. #booksky 💙📚
