A Little Life

3.5 stars

I'm sorry! The writing is very good, but the bucket of shit that turns into a truckload of shit that turns into a river of shit dumped all over that character, who at that point is already drowning in a veritable ocean of shit... it just became so surreal I started laughing out loud, and I was lost to the book - or it to me. I still think of Jude sometimes, but it's always in terms of "that poor character that had a horrible experiment done to him by that writer".
