I haven’t totally but I’m pretty disappointed by the book. It’s well-written and skillful but not that compelling. The main character/narrator feels too passive to me. I can understand the choice of him not having a real affair, or real intimacy, with his neighbor but it’s also very anti-dramatic and antithetical to page-turning. I keep feeling bored. And I hope to all the powers in the universe that my own novel is not this formulaic and bland.
