Fiction

The aunt and uncle were so awful to Harry that it was depressing. Once I knew there was a happy ending, I was able to get thru the first chapters and finish the book.

I have finished a few books I wish I had not bothered with.. Most notable was The Oldest Living Confederate Widow. I threw it away, even tho it was a big expansive hardback, because I didn’t wan’t to torture anyone else with it by donating it.

Also Michener’s Poland - every major male character for 300 years was named Jan, and it was very confusing.

She’s Come Undone - aauuugggghhhhh!

I don’t usually give up on a book, but am rather getting over that. My husband and I just made a 12 hour drive to empty out my 98 yr old mom’s house, which just sold. We were about 5 discs into an audio book, when I finally said, “I have NO idea what this story is about,” so we decided not to finish it.

Dicken’s Great Expectations was, to me, excruciatingly boring.
