Each section of this book got weirder and more uncomfortable. There is no ending. No resolution. Nothing. Worst book I’ve read in a long time.

The characters are one dimensional So I didn’t have a connection to anyone. The act of becoming vegetarian was illustrated as the beginning of a mental collapse. Although I never fully understood what happened to make her so fragile. The book is written much like it is being told to you in short hand. Only continued to read because I spent money on it and kept thinking something had to happen, but nothing really did.

Just boring. Read all the way to the end, hoping for a shocking reveal or turn of events. Nothing. I can’t even say the rest of the book was worth the lame ending. Don’t even bother.

Don’t see what all the fuss is about

This book is called “The Vegetarian”, but as shown within the first few pages, the main character is quite literally NOT a vegetarian, but a VEGAN. Can you believe this blasphemy? I highly recommend you do NOT buy this book if you do not want to be LIED to and fall victim to FALSE advertising.

At first, i thought it was three different short story only to be surprised by how the author build the book. At first, i thought it was the story of an average vegetarian, but i guess that's why some review called it Kafka novel type. At first it looked like a normal story but it was more than that...

I'm usually not one to criticize, but there was simply no point to this story. I kept turning the pages (well, there's THAT), wondering Why, What next, and How will it end. None of those things were explained, Nothing happened Next, and there really was No Ending. Perhaps everything was lost in the translation?

This is a strange book that at times makes perfect sense and at other times, veers off into the incomprehensible. Entertaining and engaging but not very satisfying.

I read it in one sitting because it was reading me. It exposed the woman who had been abused both physically and emotionally and was asked to then be the obedient quiet wife you see the downward thrust of her mind. It's written eerily poetic and it shows the tormented mind as an exotic flower. The novel may be depressing but it is one of the most truthful insights into mental illness
