Your Novel, Why Is It So Relentlessly Boring?

My better half picked this up at a library book sale for me and so I felt obligated to read it. I ended up staying up late to finish it to see where it would go. It turned out to have no destination whatsoever. It's a series of conversations with the maladjusted antagonist of the story just posing a series of questions to people who he has felt shaped his life outcome.

None of the characters are drawn out - they're just a delivery device for big questions the author wants to ask. You're better off skipping the book.
