I’m so sleepy but this novel is so good. Normally id continue with an audiobook till I fall asleep but for some obscure reason the audiobook is not available in my country.

I can’t put it down, can’t imagine falling asleep without finishing it in one long breath!

Trying not to DNF

I know I’m missing lots of intricate details because the text is a bit too victorian english for me

It is almost reminiscent of Secret History, or rather Secret history is somewhat similar to The good soldier in that they are both about a man who cannot quite attain a true membership in a group of “high society” and he lies to himself about their disposition.
Am i making an obvious observation?

This book feels the same way watching Kar Wai Wong film does. I din’t know how to explain it other than to say that it is a lesser extension of Chunking Express. A sequel that doesn’t feel as good as the first one.
Maybe I’m still waiting for something to happen but I think that precisely is against the point.

While the topic is not only interesting but at times, sadly, relatable I still find it necessary to reread some sentences or paragraphs, i drift away from the text, it can not grip me, very similar to “The railway man”. Not sure why but it doesn’t arrest my attention the way other books do.
Maybe it jumps around too much for me.
