Don’t feel guilty……. I did the same thing.
Now I did love the book and finished it. I would recommend it. But there was a moment in the middle that I honestly got a little bored. Theres a lot of description. I know it’s highly highly recommended. But I’ve read better.

I reserved it from my library…still waiting but I have a feeling its not going to be for me. People are comparing it to Pat Conroy….not a big fan. We’ll see. I hope I love it and you do too…if not…next?

@Annie well I am a huge Conroy fan and I disagree Crawdad comes no where near with character depth.

Not at all like pat Conroy-keep going
The end is so worth it- it is about struggle , exclusion , overcoming & survival – lessons are eye opening

Hey girlfriend, get the free overdrive app, hoopla, or RBdigital apps free with your library card. Read or listen for free. Enjoy!

@Hafsah owning them is so wonderful, but as you say—expensive.

@Jennifer don’t know what any of these are. Help. I am old so less tech Lang the more understandable. I would be grateful for information.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I thought it was just okay. I had high hopes for it after all of the positive reviews, but I didn’t love it.

I am still so undecided if I liked it ?? I finished it, but I am opposite to you in that I loved the first half but really didn’t like the second half, it just seemed too unrealistic ?

Help. I am worried too. And I am having a slogging March through the swamp of AMERICAS FIRST DAUGHTER. With the appropriately placed apostrophe which is my sing.

@Shelley I ended up buying it because of the long wait. I wanted to read the book before the movie came out ?

Shelley

@Ursula – I’m going to do the same thing. Sometimes I’m on “the list” so long that by the time the book gets to me, I’ve forgotten why I wanted it in the first place.
