A review by jameseplatt
Crash by J.G. Ballard

2.0

While I did enjoy the writing(somewhat) and the overall message the thing that ruined the book for me was the repetition. Personally, it was a real struggle to continue reading because after a while it seemed as though the same events occurred over and over again which just small variations. While I will admit that it did kind of hook me back in with the ending it definitely was not enough for me to overlook the boringness that came before it. Also, while the writing was very beautiful there were times that I really had to pause because it was just so outlandishly nasty and I’m not gonna say that this was a recurring element; however, I will say to just be a bit careful going into it. Another issue I have is with the characters, it was very difficult for me to feel anything for these characters and I don’t know if it just because it took me so long to read or if that’s the author’s fault but whenever they were in dire situations I just felt nothing for them.
