What would have made Man Walks Into a Room better?
The story's main problem is that it never managed to convince me why I should care. Care for the story or the characters. I found myself screaming at the ceiling of my car while listening ("Are you serious?!!" or "You've got to be joking?!!") in disbelieve at how bored I was at times or at how irrelevant things seemed.What could Nicole Krauss have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The writer seemed unaware or not yet able to image what a reader needs to stay interested or connected to her characters and to the story. I absolutely LOVED (LOVED!!!!) The History of Love. Seems like she's grown tremendously as a writer to be able to pull off History but fail so utterly in her first attempt.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Man Walks Into a Room?
The final chapter!!! Did not understand why Krauss thought I would be interested in that. Really odd and out of touch choice.Disappointed--really wanted to care

Would you try another book from Nicole Krauss and/or Richard Poe?
I absolutely loved The History of Love, Nicole Krauss' later novel. It was so beautifully written, poetic, touching, interesting. This book, however, is a huge disappointment. The writing is juvenile, awkward, and forced. The plot line and characters are weak. And the narrator does a very poor job, especially with dialogue. His voice is breathy and trails off at the end of each sentence. He is overly dramatic. His style reminds me of a 1950's radio show narration.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The redeeming quality of this novel is simply that it's based around a fantastic concept, which should be a seed for a well cultivated story, but rather it's left to dry out and disappoint.Any additional comments?
Waste of a credit.Great story idea, poor execution
