Title: Slow Man - Annoying Novel
Product review: I tend to agree with many of the individuals who rated this book with two stars. Like most, I found the first 20-30 pages of this book enthralling. However, as the Elizabeth Costello character was introduced, I lost interest and just wanted to finish the novel so I could move on to something else. Had this book been longer than 262 pages, I would have given up 1/2 way and moved on. I think what I found most irritating was when the Elizabeth Costello character would go off on these rants that would last for pages, which were generally covering the same topics as previous rants. I haven't read any other works by Coetzee and even though this book was painful I could definitely recognize the talent of the author. I trust the author, but this particular story just wasn't a win for me.
