The Sea by John Banville

The Sea by John Banville:

The group was divided in their views on this book.

Some members loved the story, while others found the author arrogant and self-obsessed. The main character is not particularly likeable, but rather moody and miserable, though given the storyline this is not surprising.

The style is magical and almost poetic, and it is a novel that is truly well composed.

This book is suitable for readers who enjoy a more challenging read.
