The Party Upstairs: A Novel por Lee Conell
This was an examination of class told through characters and events that elsewhere might be considered slightly absurd but set in NYC felt quite believable.
This story wasn't bad but it also wasn't as good as I hoped. The blurb on the back is suggests much more action than occurs. It is really a character study but the characters are a little too annoying. It is a commentary on rich and poor but with no real depth to it. It is a New York gentrification story but is superficial. It builds to "something" happening but when it does happens, it is almost an afterthought. I wanted to like this more than I did but it was just an okay read - 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.… (más)
I listened to this book on double speed; otherwise I wouldn’t have finished it. Two stars because I enjoyed some tidbits about NYC and birding, but otherwise it was tedious. I have less and less patience for books with no likable characters, but plenty of people seem not to mind. This book also involved gratuitous, gross detail that added nothing of substance (the farting episodes, the graphic pigeon situation).
