Bailedbailed

I know this is an #UnpopularOpinion but, I really just can't get this one done. I have been working on it for a while now, I am about 65-70% done, but I just never want to pick it up to finish. It's probably just me.

Oh well.

Ruthiella I‘m curious about this one…wonder where I land. On paper it sounds not for me, but it‘s so popular. 1mo
PuddleJumper I enjoyed it because it was a bit like a d&d story. I wouldn't recommend it to people who like epic fantasy, it's more of a slice of life in a fantasy setting 1mo
TheBookHippie I am not a fan 🤪😅😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
wildwoodreads I've bought it three times and sold each one on my Pangobooks shop every time because I lose interest in it. 1mo

#unpopularopinion A lot of people seemed to enjoy this book, but I'm bailing after 75 pages, past my usual 50 page make or break point. I don't like any of the characters and it's just not keeping my attention.

JamieArc Perhaps the audio version makes it better. It was excellently done, with a full cast. 4mo
RamsFan1963 @JamieArc I have heard that the audio is very good. Maybe when I finish my current audio book I'll see if it's available on audio at Libby or Spotify. 4mo

I rarely bail on a book but this one - I can‘t even.

ElizaMarie I get it! I didn't love this one, but I did find the movie pretty decent. #HailToTheBail 5mo

#unpopularopinion I've seen a lot of good reviews for this, but I'm finding it boring and I can't get into it. I'll definitely hold on to it, maybe give it a try again at a later date.

IMASLOWREADER this is how it was for me too for the handmaids tale but once i got into it it was a great story 6mo

I only got 4 chapters into this before I knew it wasn't for me. I don't like casual infidelity, so the lead mc was a turnoff for me from the start. Maybe he got better later, but I didn't find the story interesting enough to carry on.

This book. Well. I usually never DNF anything but this book really was not for me at all. I read 70ish pages and it felt soooo long already. There is no real story, just random weird snippets. Don‘t get me wrong- I LOVE weird random snippets. But this felt so pointless, boring and pretentious. So, I‘ve decided to give up. I have another Robbins book at home and hope that that one will be better.

TheBookgeekFrau This was not his best book at. All. Jitterbug Perfume was my favorite 12mo
ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau good to know! I also have a copy of 12mo
TheBookgeekFrau @ju.ca.no I liked Still Life with Woodpecker. Highly bizarre and entertaining; but then again, all of his books are bizarre 😂 12mo

dabbe I bailed on it, too, for the exact same reasons! #hailtothebail! 🤩🤩🤩 12mo
ju.ca.no @dabbe it was a really hars decision for me- I really almost never bail😅 but it just didn‘t feel worth investing anymore time😅😅 12mo
ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau I hope I like this one more! 12mo
dabbe @ju.ca.no I bail a heck of a lot more than I used to. Time is valuable, and there are too many 5-star books out there still waiting to be read. 🤗 12mo
ju.ca.no @dabbe true!! 12mo
