What utter garbage. It's crap. Nothing happens. You expect this great something to unfold, and you know what, it doesn't. It's just a story. And not a very satisfying one. Easy to read, yes. Quick to read, yes. But...
"Searingly eloquent" - Daily Mail
"ambitious and fearless..." - Guardian
"Impressess as a feat of literary engineering" - Telegraph
"...the most powerful novel I've read in a long time...." - The Gloss (Ireland)
...nope.
Or am I missing something??

Now, see, I'm glad I'm not the only one. It started well, but I kept waiting for the searing eloquence.
Never came, did it?
I totally agree! It was OK, but just OK. And all the exaggerated blurb just makes it seem disappointing... because it's not (in my humble opinion) anything like a literary masterpiece!
