The Unbearable Lightness of Being

The Unbearable Lightness of Being was almost unbearable to read. There was a lot of pseudo-intellectual meandering about things that deserved a little more grit. Rather, I prefer a little more reality. I didn't care about the characters, and I didn't feel like they cared about anything. I feel like saying I was impressed with the thoughtiness of this book, but by the time I typed it I'd be so buried under multiple levels of irony that I'd suddenly be accidentally sincere again. What was I saying? Oh, yeah. I'd probably like this book a lot more if I was having more sex.

Think you just found your existential crisis in the process of equating the significance of this book to mere playfulness of the words.

Thank you Nathan. I couldn't put it better. I give your review 5-stars.
Maybe you should stick to something less exalted like, well anything with words in it that isn't literature...
I was starting to think I was the only one not to like this but maybe you just stumbled upon the reason haha
thank you! I really felt silly for not liking this book as much as everyone told me I would!
It's not light reading......unbearably or otherwise
This book was such a slog. I had no connection to the characters at ALL � except for the dog.
Completely agree!!! 100%
