Distant Star by Roberto Bolaño

2.0

I read this book in English and perhaps it lost some of its greatness in translation? I found it to be bogged down by too many long-winded, unimportant descriptive details about characters that don’t even play an important part in the story.

We are lead into a “thriller” situation where the main character is keeping tabs on a serial killer, but by the time the book wraps up, we are left with an ending that was lackluster at best.

Very disappointing.
