4 3 2 1
by Paul Auster
Video review up https://youtu.be/5CcDBc6srIo
I decided that I wanted to make my way through the ManBooker Long-List this year because all of the titles sounded really interesting.
4 3 2 1 is about Archibald Isaac Ferguson and 3 other versions of who he could have been if his life had been altered by different events big or small.
I thought the premise for this book was amazing and when I first started reading it I really liked it, but I think I am one of the unpopular opinions in that I think Archie's life wasn't quiet interesting enough for me to keep me completely invested.
This book is almost 900 pages and while I love a good Tome this one took me forever. I did think the writing was AMAZING though. I think that it should be stated that Paul Auster is an amazing writer I just don't know that this book was the book for me.
What I loved about this Book:
1. I loved the writing style.
2. I loved the fleshed out characters (even if some of them really irritated me)
3. I loved how each Archie was the same but completely different from each other.
What I disliked about this book
1. There is no real plot.
2. This book was too long (in my opinion)
I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars because I really did enjoy the overall story I just wished it would have been a little shorter.
