3.0

Have you ever read a book which is full of thoughts you get in the middle of the night? This book is one of that.
In this book, we read about the journey of Ib as he searches for satisfaction in a city that is empty. It is filled with monotonous thoughts of Ib.

I liked the sophisticated writing style of the author. The language is rich enough to classify it under literary fiction but not hard enough.
Though I liked the writing style, I'm not fond of the characters of this book. The characters are shallow and they're not impactful(IMO). For example, we follow Ib on his journey and we don't even know what he learned at the end of it. There is absolutely no character growth at all. What did he learn throughout this journey?
I felt that the ending of this book is abrupt and incomplete. But for a debut book, the author gave us an impressive piece of literature.

I recommend this book to all the literary fiction fans.
My Rating-3.5/5
