catharinel 's review for:
Exciting Times
by Naoise Dolan
1.5 Rounded up to 2
I was SO excited for this coming off of my Conversations with Friends hype, and I have never been so let down by a book before. I can already tell this is going to put me in a slump.
This one was filled with so much pretentious pointless rambling disguised as prose that was riddled with casual racism. The setting had so much potential and Naoise Dolan not only did absolutely nothing with it but described HK in an almost offensive way. There were some really great nuggets in here that were just buried in such an uninteresting plot and the characters were so hard to care about. Skimmed most of this one.
