My Thoughts: |
This DNF was definitely a “me” thing and not because there was something truly wrong or outrageous with this book.
I tried at least 4 times to get into it and each time I found myself simply not caring one whit about any of the characters or the situation they were in. Not a dislike but a complete apathy that you could drown in. So I gave up. Forcing myself to read something is just going to waste my time and I’ll end up writing a completely scathing review and wasting emotional strength that I need to save for something real.
BL’s down again…WP up-to-date with my other sites.
I watched the first 2 episodes of the Poldark saga. I couldn’t watch the rest…crap, crap, crap… I never tried the book it was based on. By reading your review, thank god.

Yeah, booklikes’ days are numbered. No visible staff and things just keep getting clunkier and clunkier.

I understand perfectly your attitude: I just abandoned a book by one of the authors I most enjoy, just because it felt like *work* rather than pleasure, and that’s very, very wrong… There are too many good books out there, to waste our time on those we don’t like! 🙂
