I kept reminding myself about the time period, the world in which this was written. It didn't help. There are certain words I was not raised with, nor use. Words that grate on my soul and this books overuse of 2 of them hurt. Not to mention the alcohol consumption, the poor bulls ear, & the lack of character depth to name a few. The conversations/paragraphs filled with repetitive words left me feeling bored and unamused. ex. fiesta & daunted.
This will be an interesting book club chat!

It was definitely a product of its time. The casual approach to racist, antisemitism, and homophobia left me grimacing a good 3rd of the book.
I'm sure it's well written but I couldn't really concentrate on that.
