The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

The author writes as though he has created a groundbreaking new philosophy while just rehashing the works and stories of others. It's clear that he has lived quite a privileged life and doesn't understand why the average person might give a fuck about things such as their income or just not being an asshole to those they care about. While I generally agree that many people give too many fucks in life if his examples of the things he stopped giving a fuck about are true then the author could do with giving a few more fucks.

I went into this book blind and it became pretty clear in the first half of the book that it was originally a reylo fanfiction. Although I'm sure the name ‘Adam' and the cover illustration helped in clicking that link though.

Honestly though it vives better if you're thinking of it as a fanfiction. It's quite a clumsy read as actual novel, requires suspension of disbelief of quite a few scenes to make sense.

I felt like the historical aspect could have made for a great book on its own, but the modern day stuff was a bit too much of a mess.

After all the hype about this book, it was actually rather disappointing. Though that might have been because of the hype.

Parts of this book were extremely frustrating. There are parts where the characters go against their established role for no good reason only to flip back again. Plot devices were a little too obvious and characters didn't even have to try to get to the information they weren't supposed to find. Also: “Oh, she didn't know that? Odd considering she was told three chapters ago!”

That being said, the story is one that is easy to get hooked onto. Roth didn't give away too much about any character too quickly. The calm bits are written in a way that lets you move through them quickly enough to get to the high moments without losing interest. And the ending was also written in such a way that if you were to decide not to continue reading the series you can still feel like there has been some resolution, even if the major conflict hasn't been settled.
