There’s nothing like going to see if anyone else thought the book you just read was mediocre, and discovering instead that it won a Pulitzer. Ouch. Guess I don’t have taste.
Anyway, I know the POINT of the book is in large part that March is fairly unlikeable to many and deeply flawed to all. The whole book is a slog of “okay, this is gonna culminate in a reflection on how he’s actually not a very good dude?” And, yes! but it isn’t even very satisfying when the obvious gets stated. Not much truthfully recommended itself to me about this book, and I’m comfortable being the odd one out on that.
