A review by dllh
Open City by Teju Cole

3.0

This is a book of well crafted, painfully boring prose. It took me a while to warm up to it even while I enjoyed individual sentences throughout. It's a bit of a novel of ideas, though I don't remember any one idea that Cole stuck with for very long at all. Until I was well into it, it was hard for me to read more than 4 or 5 pages in a sitting.
