Less recently won the Pulitzer Prize, and while it was a nice, easy read, I didn't feel it to be utterly life-changing or even terribly resonant (at least in the way some past winners have affected me, such as The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt).
The novel was comedic and some of the descriptions were gorgeous. However, these two points often felt at odds with each other. This isn't to say that a good book must be without humor, but the humor and passages of descriptive prose didn't blend together the way they could have to make the novel feel more like a cohesive unit.
Despite this, I enjoyed the novel, and especially how Greer plays with the word "less" throughout. Impossible though it seems, I like the ending too - I like the belief in love that it ends on.
