A review by bethnellvaccaro
Everywhere You Don't Belong by Gabriel Bump

3.0

I can't decide if it is the writing style of this book that I didn't like, or it the characters just weren't developed. The subject matter is good, I just felt like I never got to really know the main character Claude, although we can infer from his actions. The word I would use to describe the book is frenetic, like a million things were happening, gaining in outlandish nature and wildness, but not really adding up to a page turner or something coherent.

So, I am not sure if this is just the style, I read one review that called the book postmodern, or if the book is just not developed. It might just be my taste. I think a lot of people will really enjoy this book. There is a lot of good stuff said, I just kept waiting for the book to slow down and to make some emotional connection.
