Atomised by Michel Houellebecq

I read this in December 2016 for Book Club (January 2016 meeting)
Must say I was looking forward to this book, but it left me indifferent I'm afraid.  Maybe it something to do with the translation? I don't know.
It's about 2 half brothers, very different, both children of the 'flower power California' lifestyle of the 60s , but they turned out very different, yet somehow very much the same....a story of love, hate, despair....it does have a lot to say about contemporary society  and when it does that was interesting.  But it just didn't grab me I'm afraid...

I won't score it as I have no feelings one way or the other about this book...read it for yourself and let me know what you think
