The Doorman

Having read it

★★☆☆☆

After a dull start with way too much characterisation and commentary at the expense of just telling a good story, in much fewer pages, I skipped to the last couple of chapters to be confronted by its predictable end.

A good passage

After a certain age, nothing ever gets better, not really. It’s just different speeds of getting worse and, ultimately, futile. No one gets out alive.
