DID YOU EVER WANT TO STRANGLE AN AUTHOR?
I'm reading John Irvings " Widow for one Year "............he's a great story teller, but this time clearly didn't know how to end this book...
I was enchanted w/all of the characters for the first 400 pages...NOW, I couldn't care less!.........he drones on and on w/superfluous detail...........enough already!, pls. get on w/the story!.............
I've had it, I doubt if i'll continue on for the 200 pages more to see : " THE END "...........I now have a headache, it's just not worth it...
What do ya think ?
Carpe Diem!

I also think she did the wrong thing to the wrong character. It played out differently in my head.

hee he heee you're funny, i.m the same way............I can't quit a book even tho I want to, so i'll suffer till the end...AryanaMender wrote:I feel like that right now with the Sweep series. Each book is really short, but there are 15 of them! She could have easily combined those into half that. And, the main character-I've found myself rooting for her to fail, because she's so darn irritating and whiny. But, I will continue to read, with the hopes the main character becomes a little less self-absorbed (or gets abducted by aliens--that would make things interesting).
