Sort of compelling

In that you’ll wonder what’s going on and want to find out. But unrelentingly depressing and monotone. Though it shifts perspectives several times all the characters sound exactly alike. Every place in the book also seems to be in the exact same state of decrepitude. The author is overly fond of three-word sentences.
