A review by missnicelady
John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead
1.0
So. Much. Writing!
Fucking hell. I forced myself through about 75 pages hoping the book would start to pay off on its ideas, but instead it smothered them under piles of unlikeable characters, flat dialogue, five-page descriptions of free buffets, and four-page descriptions of someone choking on buffet food.
I started to dread my commute because I didn't want to have to read any more of this book.
