Tinkers

I picked this book up after seeing on a list of short books with the intention to boost my 2019 count of books read.

There were glimmers of interesting characters here and there, but they were lost in a morass of run-on sentences, likely the product of creative writing class. I fact, that's what most of the book felt like; a product of a creative writing class. By no means am I suggesting that creative classes are not valuable. But there are times that the output is too forced or too precious and that's what I felt when reading “Tinkers.”
