Less is much less than stimulating
I am so glad there are so many other 1 star reviews, as I was beginning to think I lacked a certain literary suaveness since I basically hated this book and it won the Pulitzer.
What’s the issue? Nothing....happened! During all his trevails all over the world, I kept expecting actual life-changing events and learnings. All that happened was continual pity parties for Less and the ongoing obsession with his ex.
I will no longer accept that I need to read a book, or that it is actually GOOD, based on what the Pulitzer Board thinks. They’ve lost major credibility to me. I could not wait for this book to be over. I gave up in the second to last chapter and literally threw the book in the trash.
