Didn’t Like It

Rated 1 stars

“This was my first Jonathan Lethem, and I'm sorry I chose it. I should have gone straight for "Motherless Brooklyn" because "You Don't Love Me Yet" felt like an accomplished author's phoning it in for a book contract. I agree with other reader--I didn't care for the characters and didn't finish it. Rare. Some interesting elements, as if Lethem tried to like parts of the story, but clearly not where his heart was. A disappointment.”

“I had a great time reading this book. It was wacky and realistic and fun all the same time. Enough character development to provide depth yet it moved pretty quickly.”
