Lo
I am in the minority here but I was so bored and Patroclus annoyed me. I made it around 100 pages in and had lost all interest in what was going on.
Honestly it's probably my slump affecting me but I just can't with the POV.
I made it to 160 and I've just lost interest in the book. I don't want to force myself to finish and get put into a slump. I loved the concept of this, it just didn't click for me.
okay I got about 100 pages in and I just have no desire to finish reading this. Maybe I'll come back to it again at some point and give it another shot but I am have lost all interest in this book.
I have been so excited to read these books for the longest time. I own almost half of the series and I have just been putting it off but I just can't read this. I knew it was going to be very different then the show so that's not why I have a problem. The problem is it's so boring. I felt like it took me forever just to read one page. I didn't get very far into it but I just dreading reading it the whole time I tried and man I tried.
This is the first thing I've read of his since The Wicked Years and I went in with pretty good expectations, sadly disappointed. Started off confused and stayed that way the rest of the way. I made it to chapter 8 and just lost the desire to keep going.
Those last two sentences by the “husband” just killed it even more. No thank you.
Maybe I've been reading to much fantasy lately but I just cannot get into this book. It is so boring. I managed to get about half way through it and I'm still just not wanting to read it. I thought this sounded really good but there has been nothing that grabbed me and made me want to keep going.
DNF at 60 pages.
I wanted to read this and love it so bad. The whole concept of this book is what drew me to it, I mean it's a book about books, forbidden knowledge, and the library runs the world basically, who wouldn't want to read that. Sadly I could not get into the book. The chapters are long and it just never seemed to connect with me. I tried for an entire month to read this book and it got to the point where I didn't even want to look at it. I feel bad for rating this so I'm just leaving that out since I DNF at only 80 pages.
I just couldn't finish it. I didn't want to force myself and go into a slump. It just became really boring and I lost interest.
I received this from Goodreads First Reads from the author. I thought this sounded interesting and I was excited when I got it. I just could not get into the story though once I started. I tried numerous times to pick it up and read it, I could barely get past the first few chapters.
This is my second time checking out Devil in the White City and both times I barely managed to get any where in the book. It's ridiculously boring. I wanted to like this so much because Chicago is the big city near me and it was supposed to be about a serial killer as well. I didn't even make it to the serial killer parts. There is just so much over describing. It is in my best interest if I just stop now and move on.
I honestly don't know why everyone loves these books. I got about half way through and gave up. It was boring.
I have been trying so hard to finish this. I'm DNFing at just over 200 pages. It has taken me over 2 weeks to get that far and I'm not interested at all. I'm starting to lose all desire to even look at this book. This might be one of the few times I think the movie is better.
I loved that I remembered this so well. It's still just as amazing and everyone has got to read them at some point.
so bored
i just cant do this
Sooo bored
never seen the show/movie whatever but this is so boring cool idea but boring writing
This is just not for me. I'm bored and I still have no idea what is actually going on.
i've been trying to read this all year and have had such a hard time i've reread the first 15 pages at least 4 times and i'm still struggling with this writing. idk if its the translation of it or what but it is so repetitive.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to read this; however the book was not for me. I ended up DNFing around 51%. I just wasn't enjoying any part of it. The best thing about books is that they are subjective, so I hope that my dislike doesn't discourage anyone else from giving it a try
Just not my style
