On Beauty by Zadie Smith

4/10

This book was ok. I read it back in 2008 I believe. I remember not enjoying it that much but I was on a streak of bad books at the time which made this one seem better than it probably was. The storyline wasn't terrible, but whenever a story has college professors as some of the main characters then I am usually slightly annoyed because I feel like it's the writer's favorite dream to finally get to fully display how intelligent they are through the super smart professor(s). And professor characters are usually boring. I remember the characters not being very likable but that the writing was pretty decent. I wouldn't recommend this book but wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it either.
