Slightly predictable giant ramble
Let me just begin by saying there isn't a single full stop in the entire book. That's right. And that's not hyperbole. So reading this gave me a slight headache because you don't know when a thought begins or ends. I struggle to see how this was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize this year. It's about a man who literally goes through his life, all the trials and tribulations. Until the end, you can't see the bigger picture in which you understand to a certain extent about why it is a giant rant. It is interesting at times, but the emphasis on engineering was slightly boring. The best pages are right at the end.
