The Idiot | Elif Batuman
Mehso-so

This was a very well crafted book by a writer with a well-developed voice. However, I found it very difficult to relate to or care about the characters in this book. It focused on brilliant and wealthy young Harvard students. The characters had no problems beyond some minor communication issues and didn't offer much self-reflection or insight beyond what one would expect from privileged nineteen year olds.
