A review by rphalange
Bear by Julia Phillips
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
This book is so boring that people actually have a conversation about poop.
I wish the book had been called literally anything else, but a book titled "Poop" wouldn't have sold well.
NetGalley was right to allow me access to an ARC of this book because I tend to like literary fiction. But this was just... I'm not sure what it is.
I think my main gripe about the book was that there was a lot going on about people that I just couldn't care less about. I tried. I stuck around long enough to see a bear. But even that was the most boring fiction about a bear ever written. Gosh, I wanted this to be interesting. With a bold title of simply "Bear" you'd think it would have been. Oh well.
At least the writing was decent.
If you like slow literary stories about family and just about nothing else, you might actually like this.
Just prepare for poop.
