Book Reviews of the Somewhere Towards the End: A Memoir
Customer Review: This is NOT a memoir
Summary: 1 Stars
Perhaps those Brits have a different idea of what a memoir is. This book, to me, is a collection of essays. It has no story, no narrative arc (or at least not one that appeared in the first half of the book, which is when I gave up on reading it). I wish the book had been billed as an essay collection, as it then wouldn't have set my expectations for a *story*.
