harby 's review for:

Henry Henry by Allen Bratton

3.0

---

3.25/ There were things I really enjoyed about this novel and things that left me disengaged.. The writing is good, especially when it comes to voice and interiority-- Hal's POV is very well defined and he is funny in a depressed kind of way. There were stretches of writing that didn't really connect for me and I found myself distracted and questioning character motivations in the latter half. Pretty readable, and I think if it had a stronger structure and MC arc (it just kind of ends), I would've rated higher. On a positive note, the romance subplot was well done and complex and I wish it hadn't kind of tapered off.
