The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem

3.0

This was...fine? One of those books where nothing much happens, but in such a way that it seems like there’s a lot going on. Except there isn’t. The story either needed to be opened up more to the world, or had the claustrophobia of the town cranked up higher. There were some great opportunities for conspiracy that were left untapped, and a lack of tension in an element that really could have used some weird Lethem tension.
