A review by howdyhoward
The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Truly boils down to I was bored and didn't care for the plot. I think I read a good amount waiting for the action/tension to start but even though there were high stakes at times I never felt that tension/thrill for the main character. For what it's worth, I hated the narration/writing style. The narrator had something offensive/demeaning to think about everything and I found him completely unlikeable.
