Daria Ziablikova dz_dz — still a five-star read...

Henry Stabell hennamann — A Catholic, pompous over-educated blowhard with digestive phobias who thinks he's in the wrong century and watches terrible movies spitefully and at 30 still lives with and constantly disappoints his Mom? Who could ever relate to him? Oh, I've got to go, Law and Order: SVU is on. Relatablility aside, I found this book to be a colossal bore. It wasn't so much because the protagonist was a colossal bore, but because everyone else was: if the book had been structured purely around Ignatius and his mother, and the mother-son dynamic, it would be 1) shorter, 2) tighter and 3) better. But instead we are put into the heads of a million other boring assholes, who spend the whole novel talking small talk or college improv, with usually one cardboard character playing the straight man so the other can speak their cute colloquialism and rant about absolutely nothing important. There were too many heads in this book, too many coincidences. Coincidences I don't mind, but too many heads I can't stand. It bogs everything down. I didn't feel anything was ever at stake and I didn't believe anything that happened, even though everything that happened was pretty boring to begin with, and even if it did happen I didn't believe it would change anything or anybody because everybody was so cartoonish to begin with they had no reason or way to change. And cartoonish would've been okay if the situations weren't so oddly realistically dull in comparison. This book took me months and months and months to read, though oddly I sped through the last 100 or so pages. Why? Because I stopped caring and just wanted the whole thing to be over with. I stopped caring and just sped through it and that made the book oddly more enjoyable. Weird, huh? I think The Fan Man is a similar book, dealing with the same sort of situation and characters, and it's twenty times shorter and twenty times funnier than this book. There were good parts all over this book, but they did not make together a good book. Although a sequel might've been nice.
