Query: The obscure art of bowling

This book was pretty rotten.I especially didn't like how Revoyr created shallow characters only to put them through harassment, rape, torture, gun shots, madness, and murder.But the worst part is the amount of space wasted to describe bowling. Clearly the author had as much love and respect for her readers as she had for her characters.I got the sensation that this book was intended to be sold for movie rights (or television rights, perhaps HBO could really profit from the violence and the lesbian sex scenes) instead of as a stand-alone book.(cue Reading Rainbow theme song)If you are interested in reading a book where a bunch of terrible things happen to not necessarily likeable characters, I highly recommendSuite Francaise, by Irene Némirovsky.
