stuedb 's review for:
The Green Road
by Anne Enright
I can't understand (a) the ratings for this book, (b) why it's been selected on the booker long list.
Some of the writing was fabulous but it was let down by the story line, there just wasn't enough depth. Just when a character started to get interesting we'd move on to the next one. I think the stories we didn't hear about would have been much more interesting (i.e. what happen to Dan in the priesthood and why did he leave etc).
And why did it just end. No real thought to the ending at all I thought.
This did however manage to create a lot of discussion at our bookclub meeting which was very surprising to me.
