A review by themichellegray
Lost for Words by Edward St Aubyn
1.0
Can you imagine a real-life author so petty that he had to write a work of satire out of revenge for not winning an award? That's exactly what this book is and it was painful to read.
Each character was an awful person, the plot was a total bore, every page was dripping with sarcasm, and it was overall wildly offensive. I understand it was written to be this way, but how can anyone find that enjoyable? Especially when the writing style itself was horrendous.
It's a shame that the cover of this book is so beautiful because the story within the pages does not reflect that in the least bit. With nothing positive to say about this book, I'll end my review here as to not ramble on like the author certainly did for 262 pages.
