dark slow-paced

1.0

I really didn’t like this. The various stories barely connected and they really had nothing to say. It was also vastly overwritten. 

Also extremely violent for what seems like no reason? 

It’s a book club read and I kind of can’t wait to see what others have to say.

This was parts funny, parts pathetic (not in the looser sense but in the sense it emoted empathy from me), and parts despicable. The ending was sad for me (that was pathetic, for example). But getting to the end was largely amusing, but only if I removed myself from the characters (usually, I read as if I was a fly on the wall, but in this case, I often found myself being a fly on the other side of a window). If I’d been in the house, it would’ve been far too pathetic and far too despicable and hence, too hard to read.

Bit too weird for me. The ending brought it together but definitely too long chapters and too many miserable characters!
