A review by erboe501
Snow by John Banville

1.0

This book was so bad. Boring writing, bad dialogue, unrealistic characters, unoriginal plot. Banville gave into character stereotypes in the worst ways: a pedophilic priest, a troubled youth, a drug abusing high society wife, etc. It felt cheap to use trauma as the only motivation or explanation for character development. I wouldn't have finished this, but I was stuck on a road trip with nothing else to listen to.
