Compass by Murray Lee. What can I say about this book? I accidentally won it. I didn't want it. I left a so-so excerpt review and passed it along. A week later, I got an email saying I'd won! Oh damn. Did not uncheck the box. So I received it and put it aside. I won it in May and it didn't publish until September. Plenty of time to read a book I didn't want to read to begin with.
Fast forward to the end of September and I still had not read the book. I finally buckled down. It was as I suspected. A mediocre, dull book. There were a couple of chuckle moments but all in all, this is not a book for me. General fiction is not a go-to for me. I find it tedious. This book was 330 pages long and each page dragged. I grew to tolerate the insufferable, self-centered main character whose name I don't even remember, a day after finishing the book. I just didn't jive with this "search for meaning," I don't even know what to call it book. Not for me.
