The Plot | Jean Hanff Korelitz

Mehso-so

There's no copyright on plots, but nicking a good one can still have consequences... Jacob Finch Bonner is about to be massively inconvenienced.

This is a slow paced thriller that didn't quite manage to build enough claustrophobic dread and tension to make it worth my while.

Also the premise relies on "The Plot" being truly original and mind blowing, and it just... wasn't all that.

Not a bad read, but... unsatisfying.

AlaMich I agree! This one did not live up to the buzz, imo. 2d
RaeLovesToRead @AlaMich It was fine, but when there is that IT WAS THE MOST STUPENDOUS AMAZING PLOT EVER expectation, the author is setting themselves up to disappoint the reader 😅 Should I read The Sequel? 1d
AlaMich I haven‘t read it but I would say give it a miss. 1d

Albatross: A Novel | Terry Fallis

Well. I wanted to read this after listening to Books Unbound, my favourite podcast. But it's only available in Canada. I'd asked a Canadian friend to purchase it but she wasn't able to get a second hand copy. Brilliant husband got it for my Christmas present 📦. Thrilled!
Odd story but so readable. I loved the gentle humour throughout and the way it's a novel about writing and effort and rewriting.

⭐⭐⭐

The premise of this #audiobook caught my attention, bringing it onto my radar. However, the story itself bordered on boring for me. I did enjoy the twist and found myself more engaged in the later portion, but overall this was just a bit meh for me.
