nobodyatall 's review for:
Netherland
by Joseph O'Neill
Started off promisingly, and the first third was really good. But then it started getting excessively verbose and self important like the author just wanted to say lots of his important thoughts without caring how they derailed the story and spoilt it.
The first half has a really know nice feeling to it. Then it got annoyingly smug. it also seemed to have lots of unnecessary details added just incase the reader was too stupid to pick up on what was also more subtly implied by the writing.
I'm annoyed with this book, that it was so promising and then such a let down.
