whalefall, Daniel Kraus

rated 3/10: so bad it's embarrassing


science fiction about a man swallowed by a whale. sounds like fun:-) I should have checked the front cover...
new york times loved it...

I read one page. try a few more pages. 
read the cover blurb...

the book is about a young man who has relationship issues. with dead father, mother, sisters. 

the whale is probably irrelevant. 
the book starts off... boringly significant. 
as far as I can tell
... it gets worse. 
I very Quickly stop reading. 
meaningful rubbish. with a whale. 





If all else fails -- get a bigger hammer
