#Disappointed

I love Ann Patchett but this comment about receiving an ARC for her to review doesn‘t sit well with me! “Instead of throwing the book on the towering pile of books I‘ll never get to, I decided to walk it straight to the bin.” That‘s pretty shitty!!! Why toss away an ARC??? It‘s rude, especially since she‘s a novelist herself. 🥺😫😳PS: she ends up reading the first page and is instantly hooked - she LOVES the book Sorrow & Bliss.

JamieArc Oy. That sounds quite arrogant of her to do. Yikes. I‘m surprised she would admit that. 1y
Cinfhen Right?! Why would she cop to that @JamieArc ??? 1y
julesG It's harsh, but honest. 1y

LiteraryinPA I‘m with you. Not classy. 1y
Ruthiella Do you mean she should have given it to someone else instead? 1y
Cinfhen Listen, I understand she is sent hundreds of ARCs to read and review and obviously she can‘t read them all but at the very least gift them to your bookseller staff or offer them to your customers. Put them in a box and bring them to a FLL but to trash them??? Not cool @julesG @LiteraryinLawrence @Ruthiella And she must know how it is to actually get a book, especially a debut out into the wild. It‘s so flippant. #Disappointed 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I know! I was expecting so much more to happen 🤣 2y
KristiAhlers At first I was ewww dead body 🤣. Ah historic words. The plot thickens 2y
Bklover @Bookwormjillk Definitely! And to be honest I found this chapter a bit confusing anyway for some reason. Maybe I read too late at night. 🤷‍♀️ 2y
peanutnine @Bklover I was also confused. Is this a love triangle or a miscommunication? 2y

I really, really hated this book. Maybe it‘s King‘s writing, but it‘s just not for me. It was misogynistic, racist, and gave me the biggest ick. I might read Doctor Sleep, because I wanna know what happens, but I‘m not happy about it.

Minya gets a story, but so do other characters that were entirely unneeded. For an almost 600 page book, it was pretty boring. I was hoping for a lot more. 😕

I was all set with a gothic novel and coming from a different part of the world but started to get turned off when they decided to go with an English mansion, really? So stereotypical, give me some new creepy architecture!

Also the ending? 🍄🍄🍄? Really?
I think I like stories where you don't really know what the evil entity is, much scarier.

I have major problems with this book that outweighs the minor things I liked about it, which was really disappointing. I wanted to like it, but after a time it just became something I had to finish reading through to move on to something better. Another swing and a miss recommendation from MFM.

I may go back and try to finish it, but I did nail. I‘m about 100 pages in (of almost 600) and don‘t feel a connection to the plot or the characters. #DNF #Bail #disappointed

This book was such a disappointment. I did a review in it on my Instagram page if you want to take a look. @readingglasses2415
