veenaoo 's review for:

Every Day Is for the Thief by Teju Cole

2.0

---

The premise had the potential of being really interesting and insightful. Unfortunately, most of Cole's writing is so dry that it was nearly painful to read at times. Some scenes are well written and affecting but I would not recommend it. It's a short book (I read in less than 1.5 hours in a car) but not really worth the read. I can't say it was badly written, it was just really boring.
