Book - Molly Fox's Birthday

I found the idea of the book a bit intriguing. The book takes place during the course of one day (Molly Fox's Birthday). But the narrator is not Molly Fox.


It was an odd book. I wanted to like it. I even ran across many parts where I did like it, and reading those parts I felt "ok, from here, this book will take off." But it didn't, at least not for me. Because after every part I liked, I'd run into parts that dragged, were too wordy, not interesting and I'd force myself to plow through them and then suddenly, again, I'd reach another section I'd like.

I was teased by every part I enjoyed and frustrated by those I didn't. And I came to the end confused. I don't like it when I read a book, read the last paragraph and think: "did I miss something?"

That is how I felt about this book.
