Inhuman Resources by Pierre Lemaitre

3.0

I am a Pierre Lemaitre fan and am so very thankful that his books are being translated. He has a wit about him and a beautiful writing style. That being said, reading this one was somewhat of a struggle. The story felt like a ginsu knife commercial: "but wait there's more." Every time the reader got to what felt like the climax of the plot, something changed and the story went on and on. Parts of the story that didn't seem to be important received a lot of page space and this left me confused, as though Mr. Lemaitre wasn't sure where the story was going so just kept on free form writing, hoping something would coalesce. This won't keep me from reading the next book he writes. Some book has to be your least favorite from an author, right?
