Half a Life by Darin Strauss

3.0

Read this for a class. It was devoid of raw emotion, but well written and honest. It could just be that I am unused to male memoirists (other than my favorite, Dave Eggers). This lacked humor and grace and seemed to hum along at a low frequency of emotion. I can see how his writing could be impactful for some readers, but I didn't connect with it. It is, however, a subject that isn't explored often - the accidental/incidental guilt-ridden killer, so I found that fascinating.
