I had trouble connecting with the main character and getting into the book. I think the problem was I didn't identify with him over anything (big or small). The book is interestingly written though I did not finish it. (  ) monnibo | Dec 2, 2009 |  Uninspired and depressing...the main character is quite boring and this book is simply not worth your time! (  ) IamAleem | Aug 20, 2009 | This was a well written, but depressing book. While reading it, I was hoping that it would cheer up, but it really didn't. I'll be keeping the book on my shelf to remind me of it, but most likely not ever re-read it. mlsmit | Jul 9, 2009 | The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt is James Sandham's first. Sandham's writing style is interesting – specifically his use of unique similes. The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt is not an uplifting read. Some events and passages in the book are uncomfortable to read, if only because the main character's life is so dreary, so depressing, and so authentic. Or perhaps I just know too many people with lives like Aaron Rosclatt's. In any case I won't be rereading The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt. Not because it's poorly written - it isn't. I never really developed an interest in the main character, and that's a key element to enjoying a book, in my opinion. (  ) Peripa | Jan 3, 2009 | The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt begins slowly and uneventfully, and remains that way for much of the book. Aaron is a university student struggling to pay his bills, hold down a job, keep up with his girlfriend, and keep his sanity around his family, but at no point does it ever come with a sense of urgency. Instead, through the whole novel the main character narrates his life and observations with an unemotional voice. Though the writing is decent and the book reads quickly I wondered a lot what the purpose of the book was. I kept reading it because I like to finish my books, not so much because the story gripped me. Not until the last 40 or so pages of the book did I find myself genuinely wanting to know the conclusion. In finishing it I found myself with almost nothing to take away - no great characters or settings, and all I can do with it now is set it down and check it off my 'read' list.
