Title: He Not So Bad After All
Review: At the start of the book you wonder if Max Morden, the protagonist, ever went anywhere or met anyone he actually liked. His descriptions of locales and people all seem unkind and harsh. Even the description of his youthful crush is raw. However, by the end of the book you find yourself almost liking the man and thinking maybe this is someone you could spend time with.John Banville writes an extraordinary novel and weaves a world so real you can almost smell the ocean and hear the waves. It is not a happy-ever-after story, however it is a redeeming human story and well worth reading.
