higgbemine 's review for:
Netherland
by Joseph O'Neill
i enjoyed this book despite the story. that might sound strange but this is the deal- i really enjoyed the writing style and the skill it must have taken to write such a flowing, realistic, descriptive and calculated narrative. that said, i wasn't taken with this story.
my biggest book gripe right now: knowing the ending before the beginning. this book had no suspense since you already knew chuck was murdered and that hans and rachel get back together. why spill the beans before you have begun brewing your coffee? this flaw only furthered my inability to engage in the story. it would be like reading the first chapter of anne of green gables to find out she falls in love with gilbert.
i also think adrienne was dead on with the statement that this book is a man's love story. so true.
