Title: Pointless
Product review: I bought this book based on the recommendations and reviews I read at Amazon. A first for me. I thought the central idea of someone being able to stop time was fascinating, and I thought the focus on sex was inevitable, and potentially amusing, so I bought it.Big mistake. The author displays an enviable vocabulary, and rather a lot about his sexual predilictions. In my opinion the central idea is completely wasted on this narcissistic and aimless novel. I didn't care about the central character, and after reading 2/3 of the book, I lost hope that anything interesting was going to happen.I think the author has talent, certain passages reminded me of Iain banks, but he needs to be more selfless and disciplined in plot development to produce a novel to capture my interest.
