One Sentence , One Novel , One Reaction - Solar Bones

Image
Solar Bones is Booker longlisted and via the magic of NetGalley, i got to read it. This book is as close to being famous as it has only one sentence in it, does that make it good then? I found the book interesting , beautifully written and ultimately not engaging. That isn't to say that whilst i read it i wasn't engaged but anytime i put the book down the story the writing just seemed to vanish into the mists. I can see why the book is long-listed and i can see why it got amazing reviews but for me and i'm the person who read it it just didn't grab me enough to feel that i would read it again. I will read his next book and i have high hopes but this is interesting as a stylistic exercise but not essential.
