Query: Not the best

Well J.M. Coetzee attempts to make a statement on the human experience, he did so not through his character but by his simple writing and the lack of plot in the book,and how resilient one must be to read the whole book where NOTHING HAPPENS. The whole book seems to have been written in simple sentences starting with "K" and then some meaningless action verb. This book is really hard to read because often times one gets lost in the hard to follow sequences in the story, or one gets lost in the mundane activities that the protagonist partakes in. The book successfully avoided any of the problems in apartheid South Africa and focussed only on a simple man who wanted to grow some pumpkins. The book drags on forever. Only read if you enjoy the three D's; DULL, DUMB, and DRAB. My favorite thing about the book is that you can tell where I fell asleep while reading it because all the pages before I fell asleep are crisp and all the pages after it are wrinkled, I fell asleep on page 59.
