Books We Didn't Finish March Edition
IQ: I definitely didn't connect with this book. I didn't care for the writing or the "street" talk that was all over the book. I gave it about half of the first disc and knew it wasn't for me.
The Immortals: This looked like a really interesting premise. Unfortunately, it was so boring. My mind kept wandering, so I kept losing the thread of the story. I'm not too familiar with Greek mythology, so that might have been a factor in my not enjoying the story.
The Clairvoyants: I made it about halfway through before I gave up. I had a few days were I didn't get to listen to the audiobook and when I finally got back to it, I found I didn't care what happened to the characters. Nor could I really remember what was going on. They were pretty forgettable.
Blurred Lines: I kept seeing the amazing reviews for this friends to lovers romance. Unfortunately, I fall into the minority who DNF'd this book. I didn't care for the characters or the situation. There was nothing believable about it their friendship. Neither character was very likable.
I'm sorry to hear you couldn't finish IQ. I read it as an ARC and quite enjoyed it. I wonder if listening to the novel would have changed my perspective. I can definitely see how the "street talk" could come off as hokey.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly possible that the audio was teh reason. I found it all a bit distracting.
