The Lost Time Accidents by John Wray
2.0
Exasperating. Dragging. Unfulfilling.
Story: Our story begins with a letter from our narrator to the woman he loves. It seems our narrator exists out of time. He writes more letters and they all begin time-stamped with the exact same time. We finally learn our protagonist's name on page 7. And so the story begins, jumping around in time, to solve the riddle of the Lost Time Accidents.
Language: This is definitely a language led book, filled with similies and long descriptions. Unfortunately it's mostly fluff. While a couple of lines made me chuckle, most of them just left me demanding, get on with it already!!!
Characters: The main characters in this book are our narrator, his father, his aunts, his grandfather, and his grand uncle. If you are confused already, don't bother picking this book up.
So underwhelmed...
