Title: Too clever by half......
Product review: The author appears to have swallowed the dictionary. I noticed other reviews here that mention the same thing. We don't need to know how vast a vocabulary an author has - the reader needs to find a story comprehensible. Too make it even more of a chore, the author decided to throw in numerous French expressions/words. I also couldn'tunderstand much of the dialogue between the characters. I winced every time the word 'whizzy' was used. That was complete nonsense. I don't see how this could have been a contender for the Booker. The characters were one-dimensional and I couldn't care less about them. I suggest people don't waste their money on this trite.
