veronicafrance 's review for:
The Savage Detectives
by Roberto Bolaño
Too many books in "currently reading" -- one's going to have to go, and this is it. I enjoyed the first 200 pages more than I thought I would, given what a boyish sort of book it is. But then I got bogged down and bored, with the feeling that I was missing a lot of cultural references and in jokes. I'm not saying it's not a good book -- it's really well-written -- but it's just not for me. GR forces me to mark it as read, but actually I didn't finish it.
