While I loved The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go, I cannot think of a single good thing to say about The Buried Giant, which makes me even more bitter that Ishiguro won the Nobel that Murakami has still not gotten.
There are no good guys. There are no bad guys. Redemption doesn't come with resolution.
I naturally make small changes in my approach to life, so there wasn't really anything earth-shaking here for me. The core concept is solid, but the book felt like 90% filler.
Fairly standard detective thriller, a genre that I'm surprised to see King dabbling in.
