I know it sounds weird, but I just couldn't latch onto the story. For a week I was forcing myself to try and read Soon I...and at the most I would only manage about 10 pages at a time, not really taking in what was happening.
So I did something that I haven't done in a while. I decided to return Soon I...to the library unfinished. I feel guilty that I haven't stuck it out to the bitter end, but right now I need a book that will let me escape from the current madness; a narrative that will anchor me into the story and not let my mind go until the last word. Here's hoping my next book choice will do that for me.
Hmmm, I DNF-d You by Austin Grossman, I couldn't really get into it either. Maybe he's just one of those authors.
ReplyDeleteHope your real-life stuff is going okay though!
Maybe...it's either that or I'm not a superhero book person. I liked Seven Wonders by Adam Christopher, but had the same sort of concentration problem.
DeleteThanks, it's going...not sure if it's okay but I hope it will all sort itself out in the end and I can stop worrying and start enjoying reading and such!
