Title: Frightfully BORing, ol' chap
Review: When I read that Hollinghurst had a new book out, and a prize-winner at that, I was really looking forward to reading it. I requested it from my public library and had to wait a couple of months for it to become available. After part 1, pg. 160 (Nick's first "love" affair), the book was due back, and I gladly returned it. Read the other 1-star reviews, and I TOTALLY agree with those in-depth reviews.I found it impossible to "relate" to and/or care about ANY of the characters in this book--two important criteria for a "good" book-- in my opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
