stevendedalus 's review for:
The Fly Trap
by Fredrik Sjöberg
One of those weird charming, meandering texts where some guy living remotely ponders life questions using some esoteric subject to bounce off of. I honestly feel like I've read this book a bunch of different times in a bunch of different versions.
I mean it IS charming. It bounces around, it's self-deprecating, you learn a few things, and contemplate for a bit the deeper questions of life.
The ending of this one going off a bit into art history doesn't gel all that well with the previous 250 pages, but it wraps up satisfyingly enough. There's really nothing to hate, it jist feels like a retread and a type that the more I dwell on the less I like. It feels bland, a mad libs philosophy text which only works at a surface, first-read level.
