I hated this. It made me genuinely angry, to a point where I'm finding it difficult to write this review. Nothing happens, the mysterious murder is nothing, the writing is atrocious, and the biggest victim of the book is never acknowledged.

Following the release and rave reviews of her first book, the provocatively-named autobiography I'm Glad My Mom Died, people (it's me, I'm people) were intrigued by the announcement of her second book. This time fiction but equally provocative, Half His Age has an in-your-face cover and a shocking premise. This book was published, and that is the extent of what it accomplished.

This book was a terrible reading experience. Everything about it was annoying, confusing, and so bewildering that I couldn't even find my footing enough to pretend to care.

This book wasn't good. Had I not won it in a Goodreads giveaway, I probably would've stopped reading it.

Congratulations, McEwan. You've written the first retelling of Hamlet that even I couldn't find it in myself to like.
