This is the first time I’ve read Lipsyte so I was not prepared for the number of flaws his characters have. Usually, a flawed character makes a story more realistic but in the book ‘The Fun Parts’ I feel like his characters are just a little too flawed and I kept wondering why these characters are able to stay in a normal society and wondering why they weren’t just locked up in an institution. It was because of this that I found the book hard to read and I had to struggle through just to finish. I actually started reading this as soon as I’ve gotten but just took me just until this month to actually finish This does not mean the book was a complete disaster as I did actually enjoy the first couple of stories. The first three stores; ‘The Climber Room’, ‘The Dungeon Master’ and ‘The Deniers’ were very good and I found myself wishing for longer stories with these characters. I feel most of the stories started abruptly and also ended abruptly and I was left slightly confused on some of them. This book will not be on my bookshelf very long and I think I will be donating it to the local library. A begrudging four stars. Lots of fun to read, but weirdly insubstantial--couldn't remember a thing about it two days after I finished. A kind of brilliant distillation of contemporary fiction: smart, funny, fast, fatally ironic, cute, pathetic, unthreatening, sleek, slick, facile, assembled from clever components. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
