andrea_c 's review for:

Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
2.0

Completely my own fault; I brought this upon myself. I read more than one review that compared this dude to Ian McEwan quite favourably. Thing is, I really loathe McEwan's work. I realize this says more about me than it does about the authors, but that's how it sometimes is. Sometimes you just don't gel with a writer's product and no amount of adulation shaming your horrible taste will fix that.

Also: Could the estranged wife be any more annoying? At first I hated her, and then I realized that someone had created her and hated the creation, the making of her existence.
