Well, “inherent vice“ was not my cup of tea. The biggest problem was that it didn‘t make me feel anything at all except for maybe boredom at times. The book offers a wide variety of characters but I wasn’t able build a connection with any of them. The story itself didn’t manage to captivate me either. It‘s narrated too slowly for my liking and the autor‘s love for detail is kind of excruciating at times. However, the book does capture the atmosphere of the sixties quite well and I did appreciate its imagery. I can definitely see why some people would enjoy “inherent vice“, it just didn‘t work for me.
