this is usually my philosophy, but I question myself when a book has so much hype. I forced myself to finish Life of Pi because of all the hype, and it was TERRIBLE
Yes – it’s very powerful but admittedly I had to push through. Because I’ve liked his other works so much I stuck with it and I was not disappointed. The first part that is super dry will make sense as necessary in the end.
Yes, it is an odd quirky book, but worth the read. Why life can be so frustrating is illustrated well in this story. All his books are quirky, but worth it.
Yes, absolutely! I, also, had trouble getting into it. But I assure you, you won’t regret sticking with it.
Yes!!!!! It’s a very very slow start. Totally worth it. My fave book of 2017
keep reading <3
I had trouble at beginning but needed up loving it!!
Ok, looks like I will perservere! Thanks everyone!
Keep reading. It’s a very good book!
I didn’t love the book but I’m glad I finished it. I think it’s worth continuing
I did not like it either.
did you finish it?
Yes I did. I love his other books.
I had to put it down! He has some good books but I just couldn’t get into this one! And I never quit a book but I did this one!
I find that I have a hard time getting into all of this author’s books. However, I have wound up loving the 3 I finished.
I gave up on that one too.
I’ve read 2 of his books and didn’t enjoy either…I just don’t think his writing style is for me.
I’ve read all of his books. Press on, it gets better. I had a hard time in the beginning, too.
yes…I experienced the same! trust me it gets better soon!
I love his book, A Man called Ove!
Absolutely!!!!
I called it Boretown for the longest time, stuck with it and loved it!
Once I get through the hockey game, the pace picked up pretty quickly.
ok, I’ll keep at it! ?
Personally it was a letdown for me. A Man Called Ove “ spoiled” my expectations. I struggled to get through it.
I totally agree?
I don’t finish books if I don’t like them. To many books to read and not a lot of time!

I started Life of Pi, hated it and didn’t finish…lol
we must have similar taste!
Yes, we must…lol!
Agree. I came to this realization late in the game.
Yes – it’s very powerful but admittedly I had to push through. Because I’ve liked his other works so much I stuck with it and I was not disappointed. The first part that is super dry will make sense as necessary in the end.
YES!
Yes push through. I loved it.
Yes. I did audiobook and loved it. I’m not sure I would have said the same if I read it.
Definitely not my favorite of his.
Yes, it is an odd quirky book, but worth the read. Why life can be so frustrating is illustrated well in this story. All his books are quirky, but worth it.
I didn’t feel it either.
