telthor 's review for:
The Sisters Brothers
by Patrick deWitt
DID NOT FINISH
At about 20% along, I put the book down. I needed a walk. As I walked, I thought. And as I thought, I decided to surrender.
This isn't a book for me. I do respect it, and I see why some people would like it a lot. But the little vignettes are just violent slapsticky sorts of ventures that end up with too many innocent people dead, and the animal abuse is uncharted, and the brothers are perfectly horrendous little men.
Yeah, I know that's the point, but. I know when a book is not my jam, and when it just makes me constantly feel nauseous to read, I know I need to give in and return it. It's just too much for me, too dark and too bleak and I'm not a huge fan of slapstick comedy in any case so...
Eh.
That cover is possibly the coolest cover of all time, though.
