The Double Bind (27)

18 Jul 2008
Title: The Double Bind
Author: Chris Bohjalian
Genre: Fiction

I don't know which I dislike more: mostly enjoying a book and then finding the ending to be a cop-out or not really liking a book because the main character only makes sense when you view it through the lens of the cop-out ending and therefore having to be relieved that there was a cop-out ending.

In any case I'm glad to be finished with this book. That's not to say that you might not enjoy it but since one of the above described states is true I most certainly did not enjoy the overall act of reading it.
