wyarttist 's review for:

Less by Andrew Sean Greer
3.75
adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was simultaneously entertaining and simply not for me. While I adore the concept, as I was actually reading I found myself bored. There were many moments that detailed a million small details that did not feel important. Also the story is mostly told through the protagonist's memories with, again, nothing of much importance happening in the present. It would be very difficult to tell this story any other way, but I've found I don't like that style. I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it seeing as it is a funny queer love story with interesting characters.
