I couldn't read, "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" |
|
After the first two chapters it just was boring. I skipped ahead and finally, finally in the end. Could've been better. Too many cliched lines, etc. Sure glad I didn't buy it.

1. i bought it friday and i love it. i've not finished it yet but whenever i have the chance to pick it |
|
up and read it, i find it hard to put it down. it is a page turner for me.
sometimes when i like a book as much as i do this one, i keep myself from reading the book for a couple of days so as to postpone coming to the end of the book. (crazy, isn't it? but if i like a book i hate to have to come to the end of it and part with it).

This book just didn't work its magic on me. Well written though, that's for sure.

3. i finally just finished the book ... |
|
for me i found it to have a valuable lesson in there somewhere, i continued to like to the end, and i understand not being able to read through a book ... that happened to me a long time ago with the poetry of federico garcia lorca.

4. Kind of felt the same way |
|
My girlfriend was reading it on vacation last summer and raving about it. So I read it, but I found it hard to slog through. Well written, but slow and depressing-- didn't really enjoy it.
