Bystander by Mike Steeves

2.0

BYSTANDER by Mike Steeves just dragged on and on. It’s about a man, Peter Simons, who notices a strange smell from his neighbour’s apartment. From then on we get an in depth narrative of his thoughts on morality, his day to day life and what it means to him to be a good neighbour. Please look up content warnings for this book. There are some detailed descriptions. I got tired of hearing the same words over and over again. It seemed like all I was reading about was prestige TV, long form articles, social media accounts and customer service personnel. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator Greg Campbell was a good fit.
