The Dinner

Herman Koch

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

 DNF @25%, a very obnoxious first 1/4. I saw it recommended and felt like it was right up my alley, but I find these characters too unlikeable, and the way the narrator talked about his wife and women in the beginning really put me off.

Started this on a flight and it was a good way to kill time, but once I returned to real life I totally lost interest.

Not my cup of tea

The Poppy War

Could not get into this one, I might re-try later when I'm in a different frame of mind, but so far I feel on the fence if I want to finish this book.

The Lovely Bones

Alice Sebold

DID NOT FINISH

Garbage. This book was a disturbing waste of my time.

Warm Bodies

Isaac Marion

DID NOT FINISH

Boring, cliche, unrealistic female behaviour. The more I read the more I started to dislike the book. I want more from a story than a bad retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette. I feel like I kept waiting for things to pick up and they just kept the same boring pace. This book just wasn't for me
