I personally did not enjoy this book. It came highly recommended at the time and I see a lot of people love it, but it was just too confusing for me. If I didn’t watch the movie, I would have had a very different idea of the story.
For me it just jumped around too much and I couldn’t follow who was narrating at any given moment. It also did nothing to stimulate me emotionally or philosophically. I thought about putting it down several times, but I try to always finish what I start.
For those of you who love this book, what do you love about it?
Oh yeah, I’ve done it too! But I can’t stand anyone feeling guilty for not finishing a book they think they’re “supposed” to read.
I once gave up on Anna Karenina. I went back to that. I’m glad I did, but it was still a bit rough!
Heh heh, still haven’t gotten back to Anna after I was given 4 days(!) to read it in a college course… I tried. No. I read War and Peace, though, so I reassure myself that I AM a real reader 😏
Nothing kills the love of reading than feeling that you “ought” to read and finish a book!
