The Thief by Fuminori Nakamura
2.0
2.5 stars
This book was such a disappointment :(
I was genuinely interested in reading it thinking of it as a thriller and a page turner because that's how it was marketed, something that will help me out of a reading slump. Instead, it bored me quite a lot. It kind of reminded me of The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid. It had a concept that was kind of up in the air, more philosophical than it needed to be with a very pretentious air.
