3.5 seems more like it. I don’t know why I didn’t like it more. Something about the aggressively straightforward writing style made it hard for me to connect to any of the characters. It was kind of like a list of events instead of a complex story I could get lost in. Just a style preference, I suppose.
Thanks to Gideon Coe at BBC6 Music for leading me towards this book by airing an interview with the author, Willy Vlautin.
