A review by katieschell
The Idiot by Elif Batuman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
DNF at 54%. I can see how someone would like this…I could see it. This book in my eyes is for a very niche and very specific audience - I do not think this is for an everyday reader. This book was incredibly boring, nonsensical, and the characters, although veryyyy accurate to real life college students, were oh so bland.
I’m desperately hoping I’m not missing out on an incredible second half of the book by DNFing, but even if I am, I am under the opinion that it should not take halfway through a book to get to the “good” part. For this book it would just be where it slightly peaks my interest.
