A review by abroadwell
Native Speaker by Chang-rae Lee
4.0
I enjoyed this, but kept picking up something else, so it took me a long time to finish it.
Chang-rae Lee is very evidently a terrific writer at the paragraph level, hitting it out of the park. But over the longer run, I don't find the plots sufficiently engaging to keep me coming back.
This is, no doubt, my problem and not his! But although I enjoyed the book, it was a struggle to finish it. [18 days -- about twice as long as usual for me]
