    It was an ok book to read. I liked the plot but some character development was not good.

    Backlands is a decent read, offering a glimpse into Brazilian culture. The translation felt a bit clunky at times, but the story was engaging enough to keep me reading. I enjoyed the exploration of love and loss.

  3. Nikhil Toppo

    Backlands is good, but it dragged in places. The translation was well done, but the overall story didn’t quite live up to the hype. Worth a read if you enjoy slower paced novels.

    An incredible reading experience! Backlands is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores universal themes of love, loss, and resilience. Highly recommended.

    The translation was excellent, but the story itself felt a bit dated. Backlands wasn’t bad, but it didn’t blow me away.

    Backlands is an unforgettable journey. The author’s prose is lyrical and evocative, and the characters are complex and compelling. A must-read for anyone interested in Brazilian literature.

    Backlands is decent, but it’s not for everyone. The slow pace and dense prose may not appeal to all readers. However, the themes explored are quite profound.

    Backlands had some interesting moments, but I found it somewhat difficult to get into. The writing style didn’t fully resonate with me.
