Could not get into it! Too many good reads so called it quits.
I found it truly awful…
Same for me. I don’t understand all the hype there was over this book.
Maybe it’s just not for me
I stopped reading it and watched the movie. I liked the movie.
Just take your time . I enjoyed the book . It can be confusing but don’t give up on it .
It was good. But you really have to focus. I think i had to reread several pages and keep notes bc the back and forth and diff chapter views really confused me.
I enjoyed it!
I listened to it and really enjoyed it
Nope. Not worth the time. I found it confusing and the story was bland.
I hated that book it took me 2 months to read and I had to make myself finish it
I wished them both dead by the end of it lol!
I feel this on a spiritual level ?
@Meredith me to ??
It is very confusing but the end is the best part… just push on ?
I did not like this book at all and do not understand all of the hype.
Iagree Shela
I hated that book ??♀️ not only was the constant change of POV exceptionally annoying, but I figured out who it was halfway through and only finished it to make sure I was right lol. If you can’t get into it, I say don’t waste your time!
I was the same way. I tried a couple times to read it and could not follow it. Loved the movie though.
I didn’t like it. Finished it though
I really liked it, the switching was hard for me too.
I liked it.
Hated the main character so much.
I wished them both dead lol!
Seriously.
Stick with I
It
I found the book better than the movie. I enjoy books that focus on several different characters.
I liked it.
I never got into it and gave up
Cannot help you besides saying I hated every character in the book. Was way over publicized for being great
I wished them both dead…
@Meredith LOL
@Meredith me too!!
I’m no help. Hated it. ?
Good book, push on
I tried- hated it.
Agree with you.. I couldn’t follow. Too much back and forth
Worst book of the last 5 years.
Have to agree. Found it very difficult to get into the swing of, and ended up giving up. Disappointing, because I really wanted to love it!
Watch the mini series.
Keep
Going!
Stick with it
Good book
Stick with it!
Don’t bother
Same issue, I had to put it down. Im wanting to start it again, hope i can get into it.
I loved it – could not put it down
I just started it a couple of days ago, and yes it is confusing
K I’m giving up I’ve tried multiple times
It’s a psychological tactic, they make you hate a character then stick you in their head. Personally I welcomed the change, the MC was depressing.
Also it’s better on audiobook.
I gave up 1/2 trough.
Keep with it. It will all come to light at the end.
Great book!! Stick with it! The film was rubbish tho, I turned it off about 30 mins in xx
I could not get through it either.
I watched part of the movie and I couldn’t get into it.it confused me with the characters.
Keep going it will start to make sense (and get easier)
Not a good book, quit whilst you’re ahead
Hated that book complete hype
Throw it in the bin…
I had a hard time with it. I kinda gave up a few chapters in. The way I see it I’m not going to waste my time reading a book if I don’t enjoy it.
I hated this book. Was so hopeful with all the hype, and it was – ugh.
it’s so hard to get into…once you do though it gets easier I promise!
I loved this book ?
I loved this book ?
My mom and I watched the movie last, every bit as confusing!
It’s good – stick with it!!
I was the same gets better towards the end but if you really aren’t enjoying it I’d leave it not worth it x
I didn’t care for it either.
Ah. I liked it. It’s not a classic, but it still enjoyed it. I also listened to it, that’s probably why I enjoyed it. Different voices for the characters.
I hated it too. Couldn’t even read half of it. The characters were too annoying and the story wasn’t interesting. Maybe the end is surprising… I wouldn’t know! If you’re already halfway, finish it, it might be worth it.
It does get better once all the characters are introduced. Keep reading ? I really liked it. Lots of twists and turns..
I didn’t like it all.
I found the movie better and couldnt finish the book. Her book into the water was so much better
I just go back and reread some of the pages. It’s easier for me to follow. It is a great book
It’s one you have to stay with till the end. It does jump around a lot.
Was not a great film ? either Susan.
Happy New Year to you both and your family.
Johnny and I look forward to seeing you very soon
❤️?❤️??
We’re definitely coming!! Wishing you and the family a good year ahead and of course a healthy one, Shana Tova xxx
I gave up on it…
