The Hole Review
The Hole discribes the story of Oghi, a man that suffers a car accident, loses his wife and ends up in the care of his mother-in-law. Throughout the story we get to see Oghi reflect on his past and present circumstances as he faces the difficulties of recovery. What starts out as a sympathetic character, slowly unravels into flaws and mistakes that make you wonder if his suffering is well deserved.
We are simotaniasly shown how his mother-in-law slowly and siglehandedly unravels his life and health. The question in the story being, how and why? As she digs up her daughter's garden you can see that she is slowly losing her mind and plotting, but you never have a firm grasp on why she's doing it. From neglect to humiliation she throrougly makes Oghi's life a living hell.
The book tackles a lot of interesting topics such as death, ableism, classism and infidelity. You can say Oghi was a man with qestionable morals as you go along with the story.
He starts of as a doting husband with a loving wife. Speaking of his deceased wife as if she was a dreamer and idealist that balanced his life of blandness. Then turns into a bitter husband succumbing to his spoiled and privilaged wife. Explaining how she couldn't hold on to anything for too long before giving it up and turning to something else completely while neglecting him. And ending as an unfaithful man who is only sorry that he was caught.
I found that what made this book so interesting is the fact that this can happen to and be anyone's life. Sometimes you just need time to realize how unhappy and miserable you really are underneath the rose colored glasses.
As a reader, the book starts off a bit slow and boring, but as it progresses I found myself wondering what would happen next. Oghi is a wonderfully complex character that shows how small things can seem until it's too late.

Authors, you’re going to want to check this database…
Thank you, my dear @jtargaryen18 for sharing this info too. 💕 I’m sorry your books were stolen as well.
Meta, which is Facebook, Instagram and Threads, is now involved in a massive lawsuit. Internal memos have been released that prove Meta intentionally stole hundreds of thousands of books - including all of mine - to data scrape and train their AI. Here’s a link to see if they’ve stolen your work too: bit.ly/4iRK92t
There’s a class action suit just about to be launched, they’re waiting for the judge to determine if this is protected under the Fair Use laws, which it is absolutely not.
I am begging you to see that piracy is inexcusable, whether it’s a single person who doesn’t want to pay for the book to a despicable multi trillion dollar corporation who thinks they’re entitled to take your creative work for free. Authors write because we love it, because we love sharing these stories with you, because we love your reactions so much.
Because this is our community.
But we’re also supporting families, and piracy, plagiarism and theft are inexcusable, no matter what the circumstances. Here’s another helpful link to the Author’s Guild info: bit.ly/41S55zz
Books to escape reality.
Just a 30 y/o from Caimito with a book blog. A place to share my opinion on books I've read and movies I have watched.
