Sydney Pettitt's Reviews > 33 Place Brugmann

33 Place Brugmann was an interesting read. I was expecting more mystery and love story going solely on the description of the book, and was quite disappointed that the mystery and love story only revealed itself in the last few chapters of the book. However, on reflection, Charlotte had a love story of her own with art, photography, painting, architecture, nature, storytelling, and of course a love story with her father.

The entire book and all of the characters and their narratives read entirely as a philosophical and poetic form of writing which kept the book interesting and vivid enough to keep reading, but the total lack of mystery and thrill that is expected in this setting and time period counteracted what would have and could have been an extraordinary book.

For the plot of the book and the overall storyline, I wouldn’t give this book any stars for rating. The 3 star rating I have given is for the excellent writing style, captivating characters and narratives that were kept consistent throughout.
