review 1: I wanted to write about "The Astral", last Tuesday only, but couldn't do so. Reason - What to write about?This book is so boring and have no story whatsoever. It's a two line story of a husband whose wife throws him out because she doubts on him having an affair with his best friend. That's it.Nothing exactly happens other than this husband roaming around in streets, and trying to figure out what happened to him. Seriously, nothing happen after that.Point to note, Astral is the name of building, where our hero/husband stays. So, this novel has nothing to do with the real meaning of Astral.Read it if you want to read a well written novel (without a story). it's good English. Written perfectly. Alas, not my type. :(
review 2: I thought this was a decent novel but... more it had major inconsistencies. In the beginning of the novel,Harry was a flawed character that simply wanted to turn his life around. Hanging around in bars and not having any place to lay his head was heartbreaking.I felt for the character, it was hard not to be sympathetic with his struggles as a Father. Dealing with a lesbian daughter and an estranged wife, he had so much on his plate. Although the first pages were mesmerizing, the second part of the story was simply forgettable. Minor character took away the quality of the book,because of their unnecessary presence.Still I thought it was an okay book, however it could have been much better with more consistency and character development. less
