Review of 'The visible man' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

I don't know. I don't. I usually have an insurmountable hatred for books that do the "really unlikeable male main character" thing, but this one snuck by. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I feel like the premise was honest enough about how unlikeable Y___ was that I could generally cope with how wrong I found his conclusions about people to be, especially since it was really obvious how they were all entirely about him. About the way he treated Victoria especially.

I do believe I'll keep an eye out for more novels by Mr. Klosterman.
