After reading about 60% of the book, I was very sure , this would be my new favorite. Until,
the cheating plot came in. God damn it immediately made me gone to a reading slump. Like I could endure cheating in fiction if it's not romanticized.
That part of the book is sooo annoying. I think John Williams is a very talented writer. He could write mundane things to be somethinh to have a very deep and long conversation. But if I had to sum up this book briefly, I'm just gonna say, this book is perfect for all of you who likes to suffer reading a depressing book. That's it. Oh, maybe some of you who study English Lit will also like this too.
