lola425 's review for:

Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

3.0

---

I felt while I was reading this that I was hanging out with a firend who had a really interesting life, but every time she opened her mouth to tell her story, it was as if it was the most boring thing I'd ever heard. Should have been more interesting than it was, is what I'm trying to say. So either McEwan is off his game or based on the ending he's a freakin' genius because

Spoiler

since Tom Haley was actually telling the story, Haley has revealed himself to not be quite the genius Serena thought he was because he managed to make her story dull. So Haley, whose short stories were sublime (according to Serena), who was failing as a novelist (also according to Serena), has now shown us, the reader his true talent or lack thereof.

Or McEwan just dropped the ball. Either way, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
