A review by jackievan
Netherland by Joseph O'Neill

3.0

The premise of this book was great...but I thought the execution poor. The extraordinarily long sentences seemed pretentious and the flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks (no, I'm not exaggerating)made it a bit difficult to follow. O'Neill was at his best when detailing the almost-demise of Hans and Rachel's marriage. Surprisingly, I also enjoyed the cricket scenes.
