A review by theartolater
The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett

3.0

I continue to be very hot and cold with Robert Jackson Bennett. In The Company Man, a sort of techno-futuristic mystery of sorts, I just wish the first 4/5ths of the book were as good as the last 1/5th. Instead, we get a lot of meandery worldbuilding with a drip-drip-drip of real detail until things really come together in the final scenes and begin to make sense. Ultimately, I did not love this, and much of it was a bit of a slog as opposed to an enjoyable experience - I just want to read American Elsewhere again.
