Idk I'm just really not feeling this. 
Maybe I'll pick it up again someday but for now I'll leave it here. 

I'm going to stop listening and get this in digital form or find a different narrator if I can. 

This narrator is a good reader and has a nice voice but doesn't even try to say the names properly. I don't expect all that much but names are more important than other words and it's my opinion you should try to say them how they're meant to be said. I know it's just a book but it was bothering me so I'll stop here for now.

This is super boring. It's the story of a bunch of petty rich people who make up things to get upset about because they don't have any real problems. Nothing has happened halfway through the book, and I checked the other reviews which seem to say it's not worth finishing. Stopping at 4hrs.

Well. Nothing has even happened yet and already, everything about this is just extremely uncomfortable. I suppose that's the point, and that the author wants the style to unnerve the reader. But I don't want to read it, and, well, I don't have to. So DNF it is. 

I will note that it does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of young "theatre kids" who are told by adults that they should throw themselves into every passionate feeling in the name of authenticity and art. (Which is really just telling teenagers to make a bunch of really bad decisions and follow every impulse [raging hormone] immediately because of course that's more true to yourself than actually thinking things through) Theater kid culture is gross and this book does a good job of giving you the same feeling. 

Well... when I saw this book I thought it was by Maggie Smith, actor, not Maggie Smith, poet. I'll be honest, it's my fault for not reading anything about this book before starting it. It was like a dramatacized reading too which could have been better with a different narrator or reading the physical book. I was just not interested. 

Didn't finish because it was due at the library... it wasn't captivating enough to read fast and I didn't like one of the narrators so I probably won't take it out again.
