reflective relaxing slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Why did this win the Booker prize?  It’s pleasant enough and competently written but it doesn’t teach me anything about the human condition or anything else.  Good book if you want to ponder the universe while drifting off to sleep.
