My Italian Bulldozer by Alexander McCall Smith
adventurous
dark
1.5
A slow depressing start.
The unfairness of him getting arrested for supposedly stealing a car he had never seen made me angry.
The bulldozer doesn't appear until about chapter 3. Boring at times, there are quite a few characters, and with them, dialogue.I really didn't care for the infidelity and the ex barging into his life again when they've broken up. The romance part was unsatisfying. The shenanigans with the bulldozer were very few. I wasn't expecting the last chapters to be about one son born from a rape "in sin" and how this affected his sense of self and family.
