First Person by Richard Flanagan

I have no doubt this is going to get short listed for various prizes but OMG I HATED IT!!!!!
I was skim reading by about halfway through and it was so wordy that I really had no trouble following the storyline (which moved at a %#&^@*snail's pace). By the end I was hoping for Kif to have a tragic (and PAINFUL!) demise. I was disappointed :(
Read this if you love "literature" for the sake of literature. Don't read it if you want likeable characters, a decent plot, or don't enjoy being depressed about the world in general.
