Astronauts on Parade | Gene Marianetti
Bailedbailed

I think I‘d like to sit down over coffee with Mister Marianetti and listen to his story, because it‘s an important one, and his anecdotes seemed promising. This book really needed a more attentive editor, though. There was little cohesion in the narrative, and the mental energy of keeping track of the tangents was simply more than I can offer right now.

Two bails in a row. This doesn‘t bode well.

Lcsmcat There are too many good books in the world to waste time on bad books. I used to feel bad about bailing. I don‘t anymore. 5y
audraelizabeth I agree with @Lcsmcat 5y
barbwire I don‘t feel bad about bailing. I‘m just sorry the subject matter wasn‘t treated more respectfully by the publisher. Still got the MA short stories! 5y
