I read the first three essays and then I started to soar skip Froome and read snippets ... it felt like it was the same essay again and again basically.
Recent DNFs | April 2020
I've read both of Lucy woods previous books one is diving bells and that was also a short story collection and one is weathering and that's a novel and I didn't love either of them I enjoyed them enough to be interested to follow her career.
I listened to a couple of hours of this and it's just not the right tone to me ... I feel like loads of people could really like it but it just the tone of it just wasn't working.
I got about 130 pages through this ... more than that i just didn't care about any other characters ... i didn't care what happened to any of them.
I feel pretty ambivalent towards this one I got about four thirds way through when I decided to DNF it ... I also felt that the writing style was just the writing style that there's absolutely nothing special about his writing style.
I love the first essay in this collection ... but the next two essays ... it's just not interesting it's really dry.
I read about 50 pages of this and I was thinking about going back to it ... I just couldn't get past it because this kind of writing kept coming up ... I couldn't bear it so a DNF this one.
I read four of these stories which is about hundred pages in and I just felt the same way of all of them ... they all felt willing meandering they didn't really go anywhere and I just didn't relate to any of the characters.
