bookshelves: never-finished, fiction

I LOVED The Secret History. I do not love this. Elegant prose can only keep a reader for so long. I imagine that many people, me included, do not want a 10 page description of two troubled twentysomething doing crystal meth and getting sunburnt in the middle of July. I actually made the 200 page mark. With the potential of more sweaty boys on drugs in the next 400 pages, I put the book down and re-read The Secret History instead.

Marina59 A very good advice... I would have considered if I had read it before


Rachel Agreed! Be glad you stopped. The ending was unbelievably terrible!!!!!!! Just dropped, right in the middle of a paragraph. I felt so wronged.

Had exactly the same experience this weekend.


Marcie I wish I would have stopped there. The ending is so unsatisfying I actually thought my copy was missing the last chapter...
