2.0

The author overdid the prose with too much metaphor/similie. He could get through a paragraph without one. 

across the book I found that I just didn't much like Wallace and didn't that much care what happened to him. The big revelations just seemed to come out of the blue and in a way which didn't elicit a strong emotional response for me. 

Not a book I'm going to think much about now it's finished
