On Beauty by Zadie Smith
2.0
I wanted to like this book but unfortunately it did not hit the mark for me.
Zadie Smith writes beautifully and the book has some really great insights. However, I didn’t love how we saw everything from everyone’s perspective, even outside the Beasley family. I know that perspective is the point of the book but there were just too many characters, I would prefer a narrowing in, because the overflow of characters seemed to limit the plot.
PS: I hate Howard and his chapters, what a snooze fest
