The End of the Affair by Graham Greene

3.0

Interestingly, I can't say I enjoyed this highly regarded novel. First, I did not like nor could empathize with the main character. I found him detestable and unbelievable. I did not understand how others in the novel could put up with or even enjoy the company of this character. Second, I found the philosophical or religious soliloquy highly tedious and seriously lacking any depth. It felt like a charade. And third, the miracles? Seriously? What is Greene trying to evoke from his readers? Maybe it's me, and I'm missing the point. I don't know. Clearly, the book is highly regarded; I don't quite get it.
