Less is a book review of itself within a book. I enjoyed the way the book wove into itself for plot but the reveal and last chapter felt like they were too fast. Aging is weird.

i was surprised by how much this disappointed me. i’ve heard a few rave about this book and it’s been nominated for and won many awards. i really didn’t understand the hype and felt like it was a pretty lack luster story. i feel like maybe i just didn’t understand it or something idk.

not mad that I read it but would not re-read. lots of wisdom, compassion and insight from the author. highbrow eat pray love with very little time for developing any characters beyond the main character, who sadly was not as endearing to me as the author hoped. prose is beautiful but often overdone. the whole thing ends up being very very meta and actually the final third does pull it off, but that couldn’t stop the first half from feeling like a gentle little drag. still nice to see happy books win prizes.

Did I like Arthur Less as a person? No. Do I think Arthur Less is supposed to be a likable character? Also no. I honestly think that Less is supposed to be a shitty character who is unlikable and the author seems very self aware of that fact throughout the novel based on a conversation between Less and another character in I believe the 2nd to last chapter. But I did find him very enjoyable to read about although he represents a very shitty side of the gay community that I hate.

I did really enjoy reading this story and thought it had a lot of good funny moments in it.
