Outside Looking In by T.C. Boyle
3.0
2,9/3
Arghhh i don’t know how to rate this book. I loved the writing style and enjoyed the slow paced novel, although the plot was close to non existence.
This isn’t a book you pick for intrigues or plot twist but rather curiosity.
I do recognise T.C Boyle’s impressive way of writing such a flat story, however a book needs more than immersive writing to be good.
My favourite part was Part II, Joanie’s perspective was much more interesting and enjoyable then Fitz.
I was hoping the ending would wrap up the novel quiet nicely, unfortunately it made the book even more hazardous, as we have 0 conclusion.
In spite of all these critics and comments, I found myself still thinking of the story and characters. This novel was very different from what I usually read, it was innovative in a way that wasn’t obvious.
I will most likely try and get my hands on another work by this author as a lot of people were disappointed by this novel, I hope his previous work will have both plot and writing style.
