Re: I bailed...

  • Not every book is for everyone.  Maybe you'll pick it back up again and finish it.

  • Just curious, how far did you make it?

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

  • I was about 100 pages in, four days gone I think. I really think it's just my head space right now. I found something irksome about each character to the point of distraction. I will definitely keep it on my shelf and try again later. I hate not finishing a book, so eventually, I'll get back to it.

  • Oh no! You stopped before things got really good! You have to read knowing that all the characters are loathesome, it makes it more fun. I like my characters deeply flawed and with a mean streak though. I liked not loving anyone in this book...
  • I think you should give it another go when you can!

    2014 Reading Goal: 85

  • On the whole, I think this is a love it or hate it book.  I know very few people who thought it was just okay.  Regardless, it struck strong reactions one way or the other, and that's the point.

    Is this your first GF?  I think I was "primed" for her type of characters because I'd read her others first.  She's excellent at creating characters I love to hate.

    I really didn't like this book. I knew it wasn't for me after 100 pages but my friends made me keep on going. Meh.

    This was me too.  I kept listening to it because I had to know what happened, but I didn't care for it at all.  and I HATED the ending.
