ojaswisharma 's review for:
A Horse Walks into a Bar
by David Grossman
This is a very difficult book to rate for me because of all the emotions and all the flaws, both clearly visible to me. I'm going with four stars for now. The story doesn't really explore a lot of the story lines it brings up, they are simply mentioned. Fans of the catcher in the rye would love this novel for sure, it has the same cadence, the same story but no story situation. It explores Dovelah as a character but there's still some restraint in that sphere. What it does really well is create an atmosphere and make you feel the way the audience must have felt. It is heart wrenching in a lot of places, it makes you self introspect a little about how you treat people. I enjoyed the characters and I loved the way I felt while reading this book- a bit sorry, more sorry for being interested in this grotesque act. (I think it might even be a deliberate metaphor for liking the book).
