Unexpectedly ended up being a delicious read

Published by Court , 1 year ago
The ending was great- unexpected and lovely. I really like how relatable Mr. Less is and how the author really nailed his voice and tone. I read this book in a matter of days. Nothing jumps out as THE reason why I enjoyed it so much, it's just packaged so nicely that it flows out of the page and kept me reaching for it until it was done (and I was sad to not have the second book ordered already). Great read for a vacation!

One of the best novels I've read in a while

Published by Martin , 1 year ago
I really, really, really enjoyed reading 'Less'. I'm usually not the fastest reader and I tend to abandon many novels half-way through, but this one took me less than a week to finish. Beautifully written, witty and full of wisdom!

Not my favorite but decent

Published by A_Books , 1 year ago
The story itself was good enough to keep reading till the end. The writing style though, not my favorite. It became a bot confusing jumping between different POV and timelines

Extraordinarily boring.

Published by Zach , 2 years ago
I slogged through the whole thing for a bad pun. Would not recommend.

I was entertained by Less

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
I was entertained by Less. The writing style was witty and Arthur Less was fun to hang out with. Loved the cast of characters and the midlife pondering. Made me laugh and think. Good time!
