West Dickens Avenue: A Marine At Khe Sanh
A surprisingly dull memoir.
My Documents - Alejandro Zambra
Apparently he's a great writer. His shortly stories here were forgettable, his writing style is really not for me, feels clumsy and flat.He mentions Chile every couple of sentences. Or Argentina. For something that's supposed to he insightful and human it feels like it was written by a robot who had seen emotion but not experienced it. Every sentence is a flatline. The Guardian and a billion other reviewers love it though so it's just me that really can't see the benefit of spending time reading it.

Lies, Inc aka The Unteleported Man - I love the idea of people travelling to a distant world almost instantly but not being able to get back and the idea the company who send them there are making fake broadcasts that say everyone is happy and doesn't want to return. But the writing is distractingly bad in this one and his dialogue, which is often a weakness, isn't great at all. I'm half way through and it's a chore.
