A review by molassesbread
Constant Nobody by Michelle Butler Hallett
2.5
A mediocre book that teeters in the precipice of "okay", but the moments you think it's about to go over the edge, it subsides back into the confused rocking of a book that has a dead-weight on its left side. That side is Temerity West. A thorough waste of an intriguing character, the B-Side of Constant Nobody could be a compelling examination on the frustration of denied female agency, but it is not.
The most interesting part of this book is one paragraph on page 348. I spent an entire essay trying to understand this paragraph, and I still have no idea why Butler-Hallett wrote this captivating piece of character analysis and chose not expand on it. Still, a great paragraph.
