A review by tien
Half a Life by V.S. Naipaul

2.0

Interesting beginning, not-so-interesting body, and just when it's picking up, the book ended. It just feels like the book was just drifting with no purpose which I suppose gels with the character of the protagonist. He lacks the courage & the vision for a "purposefull life" and just drifted along, piggy-backing on others. A lot of 'sexual' exploration which I don't particularly know how it fits in the book.

All in all, I would not recommend it as a book to read as I didn't quite find it that interesting.
