Mainly due to the formatting and how the author choose to write this book, I did not like it. The second being, I personally dislike stream of consciousness writing. just wanted a natural stopping point to put the book down. It was just getting more and more intense because I was reading faster and faster just trying to find a period. I felt like I was reading the equivalent to Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder movie) taking the winners down the chocolate river through a tunnel. The book was being told by someone who is just rambling on and on, which I can see is most likely a choice to get the feel for how thee narrator is feeling about life.įor me, this was so stress inducing for a few reasons.

The first few pages was just a never ending list with commas, never a period. While the idea of this book did sound very appealing as soon as I started to read it a red flag for my personal reading tastes went up. Saying that, you can most likely see I ended up giving this book 1 star. This is a book I would have never tried to read if it was not on the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize. Until then, here is a collection of books that just didn’t do it for me for one reason or another. In a few days I will have a bit more of a positive post where I will be sharing my best reads of the year. I wanted to take a moment and share a few of my most disappointing reads of the year. Hello and welcome to a bit of a round of post for the year 2020.
