A review by bookishcat23
Fishbowl by Bradley Somer
3.0
An enjoyable plunge through the lives of a cast of characters in an apartment building, the interwoven stories are engaging, but, at times, implausible. These days it seems that many novels featuring multiple characters are compelled to make themselves stand out by having so many unique characters. In doing so, those characters, as a compilation, become so eccentric as to be nearly unbelievable. Taken one by one they each seem plausible, but together this mix seems unique for the sake of being unique rather than genuine.
Still overall, a worthy read with some smart observations.
"It is an evitable reminder of time passing and how, through the very act of existence, the unmarred, unspoiled purpose of things moves inexorably toward expiration."
"Because what is love but a thoughtless and reckless abandon of reason in favor of emotion."
