The Pesthouse by Jim Crace

3.0

Meh. I just don't see the point of this novel. Artfully written, but that's about it. Ideally post-apocalyptic literature offers some lesson or some world-building or some other reason for being. There was none of that. The only reason I'm giving three stars instead of two is that the final third of the book was pretty suspenseful and moved quickly, unlike the rest of the novel which I found incredibly slow.
