Less by Andrew Sean Green - 3.5 stars

[Kathy]

This book is about a moderately successful author, who lives in San Francisco and is approaching his 50th birthday. He is heartbroken and embarks on a journey around the world. The book is broken into chapters about the different places that he visits, and incorporates events from his younger days.

I really wanted to love this book. However, I found the main character to be somewhat unsympathetic. Not totally, but enough that I wasn't exactly rooting for him. That said, I am not a big fiction reader, and this book definitely held my attention. It is well written, and utilizes interesting vocabulary.

I ditched this one part way through. I found it tedious.

Really disliked this one myself. I was turning 50 in the weeks that I read it, and I felt insulted and annoyed.

Oh no!! I got this in the book swap recently. I am not sure when I will get to it, but luckily I know some other like-minded readers who liked it. And like-minded readers, like you all, who didn't... so we will see where I fall.

Glad you are still thinking of reading it Meli, Myself I liked it, not loved-I just noticed though that I missed reviewing it!

Hmmm this is on my list for this year because I somehow own it....we shall see where I stand.

Of course, Joanne, I'm committed :-) I love books that are kinda polarizing like this.
