2.5
2.5 stars. This book was a lot of effort to read for not a lot of payoff.
I liked:
-that I learned a bit about Brazil
-the dog character was cool and I wanted to see more about them
-the device of the MC not remembering peoples faces was interesting
-some interesting stuff about whales in one chapter
What I didn’t:
-it often felt like a list of events more than a narrative
-I was often bored
-didn’t care much about most of the characters
It is possible I just didn’t “get” it
