A review by francaramen
We, The Survivors by Tash Aw

2.0

Couldn’t honestly go after page 80. The prose might be very good but the story itself is intensely boring. I need to agree with the other low-grade reviews I read: the characters are not credible, you cannot feel any empathy and it makes me so frustrating to keep reading the same path over and over for every one of them. No mention to culture or anything that could make me a little bit more educated on the topic: it just simply state an inequality I’m already quite aware of, but nothing on why those people have to move, why they do what they do in the end. Very confusing and shallow.
