Me: Have you read anything by Alma Katsu?
My sister: Yeah, she wrote that book about the Donner party that was so boring. How do you even make a book about the Donner party boring?
Me: I started one that's supposed to be a horror novel but so far it is just so boring. I don't even know if I want to finish it.
My sister: I wouldn't. *shrug*

And I believe her. Abandoned at 13% after reading the Wikipedia plot synopsis and I have no regrets.
