A review by jatridle
The Book of Evidence, by John Banville

4.0

The prose is wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. And I believe a Julie in a different mood would have given this book its 5th star. But this narrator is such a terrible human being who gets to tell his story in so much more detail than he deserves that it ate at me. But, of course. That is the magic of this book. So, take this review with a grain of salt. A less grouchy reviewer would have been able to appreciate the wickedly dark humor this book has to offer. I may try this book again at some point. And I will definitely try more John Banville in the future.
