martymohito 's review for:
A Horse Walks into a Bar
by David Grossman
I found this book very hard going. Only that it is a short book or I think I would have given up. I really did not like the main character, the comedian, and it is difficult to empathise with a character if you don't like them. But then, maybe that's the point, not to like him as he has issues that we are going to explore.
It took me about 90 pages or so before I got interested and by then I was nearly half way so I kept going. The 2nd half is much more enjoyable but only just. You do get intregued to know what happens in the end. The jokes get better in the second half too!
I'm really confused with the hand stand thing going on throughout his childhood. I'm sure it has some significance but I don't get it, maybe someone will enlighten me.
Not a book I would recommend. It did win the Booker so maybe I am missing something entirely.
