This book hit all of the requirements to be a critics darling.
1. Author has a gritty blue collar background.
2. Author got an MFA
3. Author is overly descriptive regarding people, places, things that don't require that much detail. ( do I really need to know the name of every concert ticket the deceased has in his room.
4. Use words to demonstrate how vast your vocabulary is thanks to your MFA.
5. Add in one or more foreign languages ( Spanish, American Indian ) for no additional benefit to the reader.
6. Be creative. In this case, don't use quotation marks ever, but still have lots of dialogue exchanges. Oh and don't have chapters.
This book is beyond pretentious to the point of being laughable, the story never goes anywhere the dog is either bionic or the fittest dog on the planet, and the main character is neither interesting nor someone the reader can empathize with.
Overall this book was for me a complete waste of time.
