The Echo Chamber – John Boyne – 19.08.23

I’m not sure what to make of this book. I was in places quite funny, and I did laugh once or twice, but on the whole I found it more annoying than funny. Like an elderly relative at a party thinking it’s really funny to make endless jokes about the young people and their ‘social media’ it gets a bit old.

The characters are supposed to be unlikeable, I guess, and they are. Its a farce, and maybe that is reason enough to forgive the stream of ridiculous coincidences. I don’t know, the book gets lots of stars on Amazon, so maybe it’s just not my cup of tea.
