I'm currently on page 172 of The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis and I can't say I'm really excited about the book so far. I don't love how it's so obvious that he suspects Robert Mallory is The Trawler and I think the plot will either go "he's The Trawler and we watched him do all these nasty stuff without getting caught" or "he wasn't The Trawler after all". Either way I'm a bit turned off that this suspicion is presented so early in the book. I don't like abandoning books before I finish them and I'm trying really hard to plow through.
Anyone else has the same experience? And did the book get better for you?
