Awful. Tedious. Obscure. Pointless. Confusing.

If you enjoy pretentious intellectualizing, this is for you. I can't believe I forced myself to read to the end. What has the Booker Prize shortlist descended to?

The author spends an inordinate amount of time on drivel and the plot moves at a snail’s pace, on each page a hope exists that the interesting part will suddenly appear, but alas, that part never arrives.

I didn’t like anything about this book - hated the characters and the overall storyline was stupid and meaningless - why the hype? Don’t waste your money

I read everything this lady writes, she is fabulous.
