The Losers Club: Complete Restored Edition! door Richard Perez

Truly a struggle to get through. Amateur-ish, to be kind.

Permanent Obscurity: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two… door Richard Perez

Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers.

I finished the book today and, while there was a character that I liked (Baby), I can honestly say I didn't really like the book.

The ideas were good, there was definitely a story there but the way it was put together in the book just wasn't for me. The sex and drugs in the story didn't bother me at all. It fit with the storyline and wasn't just there as a shock factor.

The Losers Club door Richard Perez

This was recommended on the back of Bright Lights, Big City in some corner of the internet. It is certainly quirky and an okay read, I can see why people would see similarities between the two.

For me though, Bright Lights, Big City is an underrated classic. This just does not have the execution and can be a bit hit-and-miss in parts.

The Losers Club door Richard Perez

Unfortunately, the book did not do anything for me at all. I must admit I did not even finish reading it, which is a very rare thing indeed. I am not quite sure what the author wanted to achieve, either. It went rambling on aimlessly, introducing random (female) characters. Maybe this is what it is like to be in a guy's head? I am so sorry, should that be the case. :-(
