A review by jurgitasir
Capital by John Lanchester

4.0

It took me quite a while to read this book. At nearly 600 pages it's not a small book as it is, but what made me slow down considerable was the way the story was told. There is very little dialog in this book. It's almost completely written in thoughts and musing of the main characters. But this is probably how they managed to get under my skin. At one point I actually didn't want to read because I was so worried what is going to happen to one of the characters.
This book gets to you slowly. You don't even notice when you start to care about everyone in it.
I am not a great reader of contemporary fiction but in the end and really enjoyed the whole story.
