Leave the World Behind
by Rumaan Alam
DID NOT FINISH: 7%
If only I could go back to the time when I was so excited that my copy of Leave the World Behind showed up without the Read with Jenna sticker on it and then go back further and stop myself from buying my copy.
If anything, I went into this knowing it would probably be a hate read. Most, if not all of my friends said they would be suprised if I didn't hate it. They were right, I hated it.
I DNFd after 30 minutes, 4 chapters, and 19 pages. My mom tried to read it before I did and it took her SIX months to finally decide to DNF this 241 page book.
Beautiful prose (albeit a little too much detail) was overshadowed in over explanation in just the 19 pages I read.
I drew the line at reading about a penis doing sun salutations.
My main take away from the 19 pages I read - vacation makes you horny.
However, I think this would make a great book club book since the ratings seem to be either 1-2 star or 4-5 stars. Those make for the best kinds of book club discussions.
