A review by tacomaven
The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St Aubyn

2.0

I had high hopes for this one after reading reviews and mentions of St. Aubyn, but I didn't enjoy this at all. The first novel was sad and frustrating, but I didn't really care for the characters and I never ended up caring for them. Too many characters mentioned who were superficial and uninteresting. If it's satire, I didn't get it. I made it over 500 pages before I decided to stop torturing myself and gave up.
