4.5

Writing style was great, but sadly I had trouble connecting to the main character, who is not very likeable. It is narrated like a biograph of a writer, who kept journals from his childhood through death. He saw many changed in his life and in the world (death, war, love, loss, etc), and in the end he was reflective. Ultimately it is a portrait of godless man, searching for meaning, and finding nothing fulfilling.
