A review by deanjksmith
Never Mind by Edward St Aubyn
5.0
"Nobody can find me here, he thought. And then he thought, what if nobody can find me here?"
There isn't a single character - Patrick excluded - in this book who is redeemable. They are vapid, and unemotional, and narcissistic, and seemingly incapable of doing one nice thing without immediately sullying it afterwards.
But did I struggle to put this book down? Absolutely I did.
I'm so in love with the way that Edward St. Aubyn writes that I powered my way through this book, picking it up whenever I had a spare moment to do so. And, admittedly, I found myself staying up a little later than I probably should have done in order to read more.
I know that this book series is going to destroy me emotionally - I've seen the TV adaptation and it made me cry like a baby - and I have to admit, I'm excited to take this journey. It's been a while since a book series has gotten to me in this kind of way.
