I found it difficult to keep up with the story. It may just have not been a book for me and others may enjoy this but it did not help me to read it further, I had to push myself into it.

Not my cup of tea. Fell short. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

Unfortunately I couldn't get into this one and had to DNF. The concept is really interesting but I couldn't get into the writing.

The premise for Distortion sounded interesting, but I the book fell short for me. This was a struggle to finish.

I didn’t dig on this book, like, at all. It took me a long time to read, and at no point did I find myself really getting into it. To me, it just felt like reading a super-British-dialected (forgive my ignorance of which dialect, specifically, but I am just not cultured enough to be able to place it other than to say generally British, but not, like, posh old school Bond-type British) version of a Chuck Palahniuk novel – but not like Choke, Invisible Monsters, or Fight Club – maybe Pygmy or one of the other newer ones that I read but couldn’t find myself getting into.

However, lest it sound like I completely hated this book, since that is far too dramatic, I will say this for it: it played to it’s name. Dillon’s fracturing of identity/reality is a constant theme in the story. There was definitely some clever storytelling techniques, and the plot was definitely original, if not particularly engrossing or followable.

The thing that I really struggled with, I think, is the whole digital intrusion bit. It felt like a side story rather than an important aspect of the overall story. Plus, the intrusion seemed to be embraced by Dillon/Dylan/Dilhan, so I’m not sure where the story is there.

Not for me, did not finish. I thought the description sounded good, but lost interest fairly quickly with this one. I have been in a reading slump lately and giving up on a lot unfortunately.

So this one was a strange one. It follows Dylan/Dillon/Dhilan as he dissociates further and further as the story goes on. Each personality has its own phone, search history and opinions, each wanting to take the forefront of the book.

I found myself a little confused throughout but especially the closer to his mothers demise he came.

I didn't not like it but i also didn't find it amazing, probably because I spent the majority of it confused.

I have however seen rave reviews for this so I think maybe either I wasn't in the correct headspace for this novel, or maybe it just wasnt for me

I had high hopes for this book given that the central theme is the plight of young carers but I just couldn't get on with it at all and gave up at 30%. I have since read rave reviews so perhaps it's an acquired taste but this one wasn't for me.
