Query: Not the "Feel good" novel of the year but...

First of all I like the writing, the turns of phrase, the dialogue etc. and I will certainly read more by this author. Let me give potential readers a fair warning though, you may not finish this novel and feel satisfied. In fact you may feel a bit depressed like I was. I wouldn't read another of his books right away, I looked for something light and fluffy. However I will read his other books, just give me a bit of time.
