A review by getlitbookclub
Who Are You, Calvin Bledsoe? by Brock Clarke

3.0

Do you ever finish a book and are still not sure how you feel about it? This book feels like an SNL Stefan skit - it's got everything: a chase around Europe, a surprise kooky aunt, dueling niche industry blogs, tongue-in-cheek Calvinist critique, it's a mystery, it's an adventure, it's a farcical coming-of-age story for a 50yr old. Parts of it are so hilariously funny, and the twists did keep me guessing, but it didn't quite land the way I expected it to. It's a book that feels like it has a lot to say, but I couldn't quite grasp what the take-away is supposed to be. It's good pick for a bookclub because I think this book creates a reading experience that would benefit from an in-depth discussion with others.
