Night Boat to Tangier by Kevin Barry
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Sorry, but I just don't understand the supposed hype over this book. Really had a hard time following it, getting interested in the characters, and the plot? What plot? What real development of the main characters? The most interesting thing about it was reading about the Algericas Port where the ferries from/to Tangier, Morocco come/go--since we went through this port in Jan 2020. But even that was a let-down, from pretty much every angle. Fun to read about the escalator that went up to the cafe--where we sat waiting for our much-delayed ferry to Tangier--but not much really happens there...just like while we were there (except for getting ripped off by some overpriced & underwhelming food). The story/chronology was hard to follow and didn't seem written in a way to draw the reader into either the characters or the story. Read on my Kindle; borrowed from the library (which I had to do 2x, due to travels & meetings--and then had to wait weeks to get the book off hold).
