Title: Pointless and Infuriating.
Product review: While the writing itself isn't bad, the selfish and arrogant protagonist makes for a frustrating book. Readers are privy to Paul's lifelong transformation of an ignorant, voyeuristic teenager into an aimless adult who, by his own doing, ultimately achieves nothing. You continue reading in the hope of a dramatic turn around in his attitude towards himself and those around him only to discover there isn't one. The most interesting part of the story is that of Herr Keller, Paul's piano teacher, but because of Paul's inability to consider anything outside himself and his own piano playing, Keller's journey is dismissed until the final pages.In short, unbearably annoying and solely about failure. I only hope to deter any poor soul contemplating buying this book.
