A review by lanidon
A Vile Season by David Ferraro

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I gave up halfway. I was telling my friend who was buddy reading that it kinda feels like the written version of those sensory videos for babies, like not meant to make you feel anything except vaguely stimulated. I didn't sense any particular emotion, theme, or even vibe trying to be conveyed here. The main character sucks; he has a superiority complex despite nobody liking or caring about him. The setting is nebulous and anachronistic. The plot is just basically jangling keys in front of your face trying to get one if the half dozen shiny objects to hold your attention AND YET it still failed. It truly made me feel less engaged than Cocomelon....
