9. Finishing the last of The Glass Hotel
Sun Feb 21, 2021, 03:50 PM

I started to stop reading it - but hate to do that - so here is my two cents: I did not like this book; I didn't like the characters; the central character, Vincent, has a very disjointed life and her story lumbers through many settings, the main one posing as the wife of the owner of a vast Ponzi scheme. There are many time jags back and forth, a lot of less important characters, ghosts....I don't really know if the book had a point. Other opinions?
