I read White Teeth a good few years back and thought it was OK not great and then after read On Beauty which I found tedious. Thought I would give her books another chance as the reviews on the cover of her latest book NW were so glowing (interestingly not so much on Amazon).
Characters not well developed, story boring and relieved to get to the end. What am I missing? Why is she considered so good I find her writing pretentious and mediocre at best.
