Has anyone read Labor Day? (NS)

If there was ever a book that needed a "is this going to get better?" post, this is it!

What a f*cking snooze fest!  It is only 189 pages on my ipad- and I've been reading for days and I am still barely half way through.
GAH!  
I hate to give up when it is so short.

I can see how it could be adapted into a nice movie though (so long as they add some excitement)
GAH! (again)

    I thought it was awful.  I hate what Henry had to go through (was that the boy's name?  I can't even remember).  I DON'T see how it would be a good movie - I hope they added some drama or something.

    This makes me sad! But I'm glad for the warning. My book club was thinking about reading this, and I'll take it off our list.

    I was in the middle of it when my kindle loan expired.  I really don't have the desire to borrow it again.

    Boo!  I was holding out hope the movie may have been good.

    I may need to give up then. 
    Not worth reading a boring bad book.

    The movie was SO BORING.  Even Kate Winslet was a huge disappointment.  She had one facial expression through the entire movie.  Frank was less likable and the "pie scene" was the most unsexy moment I've seen in a long time.

    Yup- I'm done then.

    Grrr. Stupid list of "Books you must read before seeing the movie"
    Fail!

    Troubled Kate Winslet with a love interest named Frank? I feel like she already did this.

    I finished it yesterday. I agree with all of the above and really didn't enjoy the ending.
