I will admit this was not my favorite read of the year by any means and it was really more like a 3.5 star read for me. It was slow to get moving and it was a bit confusing at times. I ended up liking it at the very end but it definitely is something you need to stick with to get to the good part. Arthur Less is a man who is lacking in self-confidence and his place in life. That is probably the strength of the story, the character development. The narrator was a bit confusing for me and I think it would be something that would be gained by revisiting the early chapters.
Less by Andrew Sean Greer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
interesting read
This was a bit of a slow burn in my opinion. The first half to 3/4 is a bit slow and drawn out for me. The story picked up a bit at the end. I am still confused on why it won a Pulitzer. I found the twists and turns interesting
