The Game of Opposites: A Novel by Norman Lebrecht

baklavopita's review

4.0

The story got off to a slow start and I was perhaps irritated at time jumping around. But before page 50 I was completely sold. I wish the ending had been handled differently. It's not that it wrapped up too quickly---it just wrapped up so differently, with characters that I wasn't concerned with talking third hand about the characters I wanted to know about. It created a distance, rather than a mystery. But all the story in the middle, I thoroughly enjoyed.
