Absolutely Hated it!
 
Have you ever made it a few chapters into a book and had to put it down it was so bad? I recently picked up a book at the library on their new releases wall and after reading the first page decided to take it home. I made it just over five pages in and realized it was terrible. I tried to force it, but it was just impossible. Do any of you have stories like that? Can you recall the book?

I am afraid not. Sorry that I cannot share your burden.

I always get at least 100 pages into a book before I give up.

I really wanted to. I wanted to like it so bad, and its never happened before. I usually finish books even if they are bad because I cant stand the "what if it got way better at the end?" But this was garbage. Lol.

Expect the unexpected.

Catcher in the Rye. Sheite. I do not see how its considered fantastic except maybe elitist literary snobs who never experience real 'rebellion' get something out of it.

I liked fall of the red star better. Very sad story. ::sad::

If I wasn't such a slow reader I would probably finish them all. But I don't wanna waste so many hours of my life on something that isn't good.

I retract my last statement.
