The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall

1.0

Yeah, so this was all a bit too conceptual for me. Usually, I'm all for the strange and mysterious and complicated (being weirded out by a narrative can totally happen in a good way), but conceptual sharks that feed on thoughts and words (or something), that are also kinda physical? Some dude that consists for 1/100 out of the mind of a girl that was dead only maybe she isn't? (Apologies if this is incorrect, but that's what I seem to remember.) Anyway, sorry, but that's all a bit too much for me. I couldn't disappear into this book the way I would love to when I find the time to read something other than course books, and I can't give the 200 pages I read more than 1 star. Respect for all who could keep up with this story and weren't completely weirded out (in a bad way).
