Disappointing
Oh my gosh is this the same Fredrik Bachman who wrote the wonderful Bear Town/ Us Against You??? What is the purpose of this book on these so called anxious people? I couldn’t make it to the first 100 pages. The dialogues are so meaningless but a bunch of ramblings about these characters who are totally lack of appeal. I feel the author is trying to build up something big but do not care for his style. Feeling very impatient and agonizingly slow with the silly conversations. No connection to this book at all. The interview parts are especially painful and they are NOT even funny, far from it. I really couldn’t get through this book. What a disappointment from one of the most anticipated books in my list.
