Not one of my favourites
Loved it.
I’m thinking the same I’m further along and still struggling
I put it down early was bored
I thought that too & was beginning to think too many references to pubescent boys with their hands down their pyjamas! But actually…. this is one worth persevering with. I ended up really enjoying it
I gave up before that
Maybe it’s one of those books you either love or hate. I loved it!
Keep going!
Loved the book.
I gave up.. ?
@Samantha hated it..
If you don’t love it, leave it. My personal opinion
I utterly adored this book. The best one I have read this year.
@John agree
@John agree
Wasn’t that keen at first. Loved it by the time I finished it. One of my faves
Me too so interesting well written. Love all his books
Keep going, it’s a good book, even though bits were very repetitive and predictable , ( and annoying!) but I’m glad I finished, wouldn’t of not read it,
Oh I listened on audible! So maybe it’s harder actually reading it!
NO! Fantastic book, keep going
Maybe it’s not for you.. I loved it all the way thru
I really didn’t like it, gave up three quarters of a way through
I was totally in the same boat with it. Others covinced me to stick it out. Its worth the wait, promise.
Please don’t give up!
Loved this book.
One of my all time favourite books.
I loved this book and have since read two more of his books.
@Brenda I loved it too! How are the others?
@Marcie I particularly liked the thief of time.
@Brenda thank you, I will check it out
I gave up on it too. In the very beginning it seemed interesting, but then I just did not like it, too weird. I got to the point where the main character’s mother resurfaces, probably at least 100 pages in. I may try it again sometime.
I thought is was fabulous! Though maybe him at 7 and 14 were the weakest sections? It’s a book that will stay with me.
Stick with it!
I read it all the way through but wish I hadn’t bothered.
WHAT???!!!! Best book, unbelievably moving, stayed with me and will do forever!
I didn’t love the first half but the second was amazing
Despite all the hype, I did not love it either ??♀️
I’m still chugging along, but not overly impressed so far.
It is a beautiful book, but it’s not worth struggling through something you don’t like!
Keep going. Well worth it
I just finished it and loved it. The story will stay with me for awhile…..
Just finished Where the Crawdads Sing. Beautiful story
@Marie totally agree … such a heart warming book
I absolutely loved it
I wanted to give up, but didn’t and was very glad that I stayed with it.
Loved it.
Keep going. It took me a while to get into it but loved it by the end.
I adored this book
I gave up on it recently ?
Skim!! That’s how I got through. It wqs a good story, but gets extremely wordy!
I found it hard going to start off with, but then it grabbed me and I could not put it down. Recommend persevering 🙂
I was beginning to think I was alone in not being completely bowled over by this book. Maybe I’m prudish but I didn’t enjoy all the accounts of his younger life, however found some aspects exceptionally moving, and it definitely got better in the second half. I completely get where the author was coming from with the content, his personal experiences, and the influences and prejudices of the setting and times, but I did find it rather too bawdy for my taste, particularly in the first half.
Awesome read- keep reading
Didn’t like it… so over rated.
Loved this book!
Keep going!
Definitely keep going, loved it, a brilliant and sensitive story.
This was my favourite book of 2018. Loved it.
Loved it
I thoroughly enjoyed “Hearts invisible furies” . I think it’s definitely worth reading.
@Melanie ??
great book. Keep reading.
One of my favourite books EVER. I thought it was stunning.
Great read
Don’t it gets better
Absolutely loved it – if you are not enjoying after 150 pages then it’s probably not for you
I loved it, stayed with me for a long time after finishing it. Would recommend you keep going!
It was a bit too long for me too. Dragged on a bit, but I eventually finished it. Was just okay for me.
I loved it!
I was hooked from page one, if it isnt for you nothing anyone says is going to change that. It is okay to give up.
Not hooked from day one. Struggled with the context..pushed myself to finish and now glad that I did.
I’m listening to it on Audible and totally hooked.
Here’s the link to it on Audible. If it’s your first book it will be free. http://a.co/8DXqVgt
Gosh, I couldnt put it down!
I wasnt a fan
I loved it but everyone has different tastes
keep going!
Loved it. Keep going !!
Keep going. It gets better. I ended up loving this book!
I loved it even brought a copy for my sister
Don’t give up!! One of the best books
Give up ? i got a bit further and it doesn’t get any better
Thanks all…..knowing that every book isn’t for every reader, i am moving on……
Loved it from the first page..
I was adducted to this book – incredible story – but not everyone has the same taste and opinion’s, if it isn’t for you find something else but if you can persist you may fall in love x
Loved it
Really enjoyed it try and keep going
One of the best books I’ve ever read – I thought it was magnificent. I rarely cry when reading but this one had me sobbing in parts.
