The End We Start from

Megan Hunter

DID NOT FINISH: 54%

It was too lyrical in writing; I didn't know what was happening. 

While Justice Sleeps

Stacey Abrams

DID NOT FINISH: 42%

The writing was awful to keep track, a page would start as single point of view but then have several points of view from secondary characters who weren’t in the scene (a phone call, an email, etc.)

Broken Monsters

Lauren Beukes

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

Almost 100 pages in, I wasn’t feeling what was happening. Two many narrators to understand what was occurring - the supernatural / sci-fi stuff was confusing. Not for me 

The Polished Hoe

Austin Clarke

DID NOT FINISH

The narration style, which is a conversation between two characters, was not for me. Quit reading after page 35.

The Aosawa Murders

Riku Onda

DID NOT FINISH

The narration style in the first fifty pages just wasn’t working for me. Expected a thriller and it wasn’t pulling me in to read anymore 

The Elizas

Sara Shepard

DID NOT FINISH

Hated the character and the writing.

Practical Magic

Alice Hoffman

DID NOT FINISH

I found that the writing was very dense and very hard to follow. There were no chapters and long, winding, paragraphs of description and no real conflict driving the story forward. Very boring. 

The Fireman

Joe Hill

DID NOT FINISH

I felt that the first 100 pages or so were very exciting, but then I got lost because I felt that the novel changed genres and I no longer cared for the characters or the story.
