<blockquote><i>"Now, there was nothing remarkable in all this (...)"</i></blockquote> This quote perfectly describes the book for me. I understand the point the author was trying to make, but it's just deeply fine (derogatory). A memoir of a person who isn't memorable at all, who has nothing memorable to share. Not even the unreliable narration nor the revelations towards the end made it interesting. Also, every single character is unlikeable.
