A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction)

Three people recommended this book to me. I was extremely disappointed. The basic storyline was somewhat interesting, however it was about 200 pages too long. I don't mind reading lengthy books, but half of the words in this one added absolutely nothing to the story. There were so many passages that were redundant, unnecessary, and extremely boring. I kept reading with high hopes that it would get better. It didn't. Interestingly enough, AFTER I finished it and talked to various reader friends, I found no one else who liked it, other than the original three who recommended it. I definitely do not recommend this book.
