No Friend but the Mountains: The True Story of an Illegally Imprisoned Refugee
DID NOT FINISH: 45%
I just really couldn't get into it. I tried, but it didn't work for me.
Honesetly didn't love this as much as I thought I would. The premise was interstesting and I liked the dynamics between the different chracters. I'm not too entralled by the fantastical element though--it just doesn't hit right for me.
Just wasn't for me. I didn't understand the difference between nature writing and science writing. Maybe I'll try again in the future.
It seems like a verysimple book, which is fine, I guess. Just not my type of story. And the main character is completely spineless and unlikeable. A great deal of her problems stem from her inability to communicate with her boyfriend and best friend. It's absolutely maddening how passive and inarticulate she is. You can't whine about stuff and make no attempt solve or even voice your issues/concerns.
Usually I DNF because I want to read a book and ran out of time or wasn't in the right mood. I just can't stand to read this book, which is a shame because it seeme so promising. But, I'm at 35% and just am not enjoying myself, so I'm dropping it.
I was trying to audiobook this but it's going to have to be a paperback or something.
It just wasn't doing it for me. I started this immediately after The Guest and this book just feels bit too similar and also not as good.
