The Club by Takis Würger
2.0
It was a compelling read at the beginning. The narrator’s isolation, perspective, and tone were intriguing. The other characters with their mystery and damage made me think the story would take me to unusual places. And...it really didn’t. There’s a sort of brittle or arid quality to a lot of fiction about upper class wealthy people and their stories that this text shares. It’s not my favorite.
The trauma was exactly what I’d feared and predicted. It’s not, to put it mildly, my favorite either.
So, really, I can’t say it’s a bad book. It’s not poorly written or anything. I can say it was disappointing to me and I wouldn’t recommend it to my friends. YMMV.
