barkingstars reviewed Small World by David Lodge
Review of 'Small World' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I found this a very irritating book. There are some great bits here, but this was far outweighed by annoyance. The central problem is that it is high in extraordinary incidences and coincidences. This removes the feeing that anything is at stake. Also, there are a lot of characters but I’m left wondering why.
I still think Lodge is an excellent writer but I feel the point of this book was lost on me.
