A review by robyn1998
Grand Union by Zadie Smith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
DNF
I stopped listening to this during "Words and Music". The whole thing up til that point was a pointless, pompous, directionless mess. I loved White Teeth and NW, I enjoyed Swing Time, hated the Autograph man... Zadie Smith's writing seems wildly variable. Why does she intentionally confuse the reader- is it to make herself feel intelligent?
I own The Fraud and I'll give it a try but I'm not hopeful about how much I'll enjoy it considering how many of her books have been misses for me.
