Title: Literary Crap
Review: I must be getting old. I have no patience for literary works of fiction anymore. They suck; they're slow and boring and so unentertaining that I want to throw them in the fireplace. What makes this one so bad is that I'm not sure its even literary. I've never read Auster before but got a recommendation to start with this one. It's hard to find any enjoyment in a novel where the main character runs away from society, is tasked to do a hard, endless job, doesn't accomplish it and then kills himself. Oops, I gave away the ending. Believe me, read this book and you'd wish the guy would have done it 100 pages ago and saved you all the trouble. It's not like you're going to learn anything about him, you or life in general--you're just going to be wasting your time. This one is a real stinker and it doesn't hold up over time.
