The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas

3.0

The book itself is well written but its just a chore. Every character is absolutely vile including the four year old who gets slapped. With no redeeming qualities to be found, its incredibly difficult to feel anything for the characters which sorely impacts on the reading of the book. I'm sure we are meant to be disgusted by the characters but its exhausting and it doesn't really mean anything? I didn't hate it. I'm not sure I enjoyed it. I'm glad its over.
