Books I DNF'd in May
Inspection: I think it is time to sever ties with Josh Malerman. I absolutely loved Bird Box. But I have had a hard time connecting with anything else that he has written since. I was so disappointed with Inspection. I gave it about 100 pages, then gave up. It was confusing, boring and just not a good premise. Skip this one. It's not good.
My Lovely Wife: I tried with this one. But I was so bored. For a couple of serial killers, they lived very dull lives. There was too much time spent in the past. It just wasn't for me. I know other people loved this one, but it wasn't for me.
Mine: I was all in with this one until the girlfriend showed up. Then it just went off the rails for me. I thought this book would go in a different direction. I couldn't get behind what the main character chose to do, so I gave up.
The Ghost Bride: I found this book confusing. It was over written and too flowery. The whole ghost bride thing was weird and not what I was expecting. I made it to the part where the main character entered the ghost realm, then I couldn't listen any more. Definitely not for me.
Breed: This book was just wrong and disturbing. I love horror, but this just was too gross and over the top for me. I lasted about 50% of the way through and I couldn't take it any more.
The Last: I am pretty picky about what type of post-apocalyptic books I read. I do like survival stories and watching a group of people try to make it after a major world event. However, I don't like reading about people within that group continually taking their lives. While I'm sure it would happen in real life out of despair, I don't want it in my fiction.
