A review by agakoczur
The Waiter by Matias Faldbakken

3.0

It would appear that even despite being in lockdown and seemingly short on things to do, I still manage to fall behind on reading. Though an unfortunate feat, it is what it is and it should not come as a surprise that yet another book has taken me a month to read. This one only came to some 250 pages, but here we are, a month later.

I have no idea what is going on echoes through my head as I get further immersed in the action that unfolds in the Oslo-based hotel, The Hills.

I gave this a three out of five stars because it felt a little short for me. For starters, it took me almost two months to get through a 200-page book. There were many good moments in the novel, but I found it a little tricky connecting to the protagonist of the text. I think this is due to a long time it took me to get through the book, so I will definitely be picking this up again in the future. With that said, I think I’ll keep this review to a minimum, and write one of greater substance.
