I See You've Called in Dead
by John Kenney
<b>Read Completed 4/7/25 |</b> 2.5 stars | Book #49 of 2025
This just wasn't the book for me, but not a bad read. It's one of those contemporary novels where it doesn't really have a plot and just kind of meanders all around a topic. I picked it up because I was hoping for humor, and there definitely was some, but more just the level of a smirk and not an all out laugh.
After finishing, I don't really have much to say about it. I just wasn't engaged and it was fairly boring, but I know it's just not my personal taste. You have to be engaged with the topic and the essence of the story to be interested and I just wasn't. Not the right time, not the right mood, but I can see why it hits for others. The book is VERY introspective, which is fine, but I was hoping for just a bit more plot to keep the momentum moving as well. I wanted to see more his interactions with work and more *events* to keep the a reader like me hooked. I guess I'm just not the right audience and/or this was just the wrong time for me to pick this up.
