The Autograph Man - Zadie Smith

I've been reading The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith since I finished Tender is the Night. Between the two of them I dramatically slowed down my reading because I didn't really like either book, and I found them both rather plodding to get through. I read a lot of magazines in between...

I finally finished The Autograph Man last night, and although the last 100 pages were better than most of the rest of the book, it was the weakest of the Zadie Smith books I've read, and I found neither the story nor the characters very compelling.

My next book is written by my brother in law and is a thriller, on the first 20 pages on the Metro this morning there was already a death, so I'm guessing this will go faster!
