Title: Well Done, Just Not Memorable
Review: V.S. Naipaul is one of those writers with tremendous talent, so much so that even not his best work is still very well done. He writes so much better than most writers, but the problem with Half a Life is that it really is not a very good showcase of his talents; it's not one of those books which I will remember months from now as being wonderful. The messages won't linger for more than a few weeks. I still think this is a well done work, compared to much of what else is available, it's just that coming from Naipaul, I found it a bit disappointing.
