Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
3.0

An interesting read, but relatively unmemorable. I was never quite sold on the character of Chuck - I understood why Hans found him interesting, but I didn't share that interest. I liked the style, and there were some great descriptions of feelings and things, but I was kept (perhaps intentionally) emotionally distant from the characters, and there were only rare moments, like right at the end, that I felt a connection. Not quite my kind of book, but worth reading if it sounds interesting to you.
