## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and fascinating read
            
*by J***G on May 1, 2018*

I read this book quickly, and greedily, and yet, now that I am finished with it I find that I understood perhaps very little of it and will have to go back and read it again. This is not to say I didn't enjoy the book. I loved it. The writing is superb: elegant, graceful, understated and deeply connected. And there is so much sly humor that I found myself laughing out loud, particularly in the second half, in what could be described as the "dark" half. And yet, because the two separate story lines that form the book are indeed "asymmetrical" it's challenging to assign meaning to this narrative without a closer look. To me, that is the mark of a truly good book, one that has you immediately turning to page one as soon as you've finish the last word, eager to re-enter the world of the novel with a different perspective. Like life, Halliday has created an experience that is multi layered, mysterious, and complicated. And like life, I need to ponder it,and explore it, to fully understand its meaning. I highly recommend this book, if nothing else, for the brain tease it will provide you.
  

### ⭐ A Huge Disappointment
            
*by J***R on December 2, 2018*

Encouraged by its being one of NYT 100 notable books and several of the blurbs I waded into this, intrigued by the characters in the first twenty pages or so, I kept going with increasing boredom and frustration with the tedious dialogue and lack of character development. It is rare that I don't finish a book. I couldn't justify continuing with this one.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐ Pretentious, High-Brow Literary Fiction
            
*by C***Y on July 23, 2018*

This book, which is essentially a study of the imbalance of power in relationships, was brilliant…but boring. Philosophical…but perplexing. Intriguing…but incongruous.Written by Lisa Halliday, it is actually three novellas, the first two of which have nothing in common and the third of which is a somewhat lame attempt to unite the first two.The first story, "Folly," is a May-December romance between Alice and Ezra that some critics say is a roman a clef about Halliday's own affair with Philip Roth with lots of allusions to "Alice in Wonderland." The second story, "Madness," is about Amar, a young American man of Iraqi heritage, who is detained for several days at Heathrow Airport based (presumably) on ethnic profiling. The story flashes back and forth between the airport nightmare and his life story until then. The third story is a radio interview with Ezra, and in the answer to one of the many questions he is asked, he unites the first two stories. Sort of."Asymmetry" is high-brow literary fiction at its snobbiest and most pretentious, and I was totally underwhelmed.
