I’m giving up.

At first, I didn’t care much for the narrator’s voice, but once I hit the sections with Lola and Beli, I really missed it. Those sections just seemed boring and unnecessary though, so I ended up skipping them. When I came back to the next chapter in Oscar’s life it was better, but I found myself not caring about him, and thinking he’s as annoying as the other characters believe him to be.
Perhaps this book didn’t catch on for me because I recently read the Savage Detectives…more I’m giving up.

Perhaps this book didn’t catch on for me because I recently read the Savage Detectives which is sprawling and full of numerous narrators. Anyway, not sure what all the buzz about this book is, seems like one to miss.
