A Hard and Heavy Thing by Matthew J. Hefti

1.0

I am sure that this book had a good moral message, however, I feel like I am reading the same sentence over and over again. He did this. He did that. He thought this, then he thought that. I can't stand it. In addition to the poor writing, there is almost no distinction between each of the characters. At any given moment the author could be talking about either Levi or Nick and I would be none the wiser. They act and talk like the exact same person. Even the authors own interjections in the text are indistinguishable from the rest of the novel. Based on other reviews I've read the content must be at least something but I just can't get over the narration. Maybe one day in the future I will attempt to read it again.
