Is it good?
Im just looking for something good. I read most of the classics already, I just wanna fall into something you know. Or I might read War and Peace.
Whats the last good book you read that was a fine and pleasant read throughout?

i read it for my book group recently and disliked it. and i'm not just a woman writer hater - i quite liked poisonwood bible by the same author

I liked the first 100 pages then lost all interest and read the wikipedia page. Feel like i read the good part and didnt miss out on a whole lot.

It felt like the book form of Oscar bait. I found it annoyingly insincere.

I loved it, but I also read David Copperfield when I was in middle school so it struck my nostalgia pretty hard.
The ending is a little rushed though. I wish it had more of an epilogue.

i couldnt bare reading any further after the young childhood part ends and his highschool years start. what i read felt incongruent and most importantly uninteresting. maybe i didnt read enough, its structured as if its a slow burn leading some where but my gut told me it wasnt worth any more time.

why not just read the original book? i don't understand these re-telllings

It's called Pulitzer bait, and it worked
