There's been a few books that disappoint me, nothing really popping to mind besides "Confessions of a Slacker Mom" which had all the best points listed on the jacket. I still bought the follow up "Confessions of a Slacker Wife" which was a wee better, in that the first chapter nailed it, but the rest of the book was meh. Oh, and there was that memoir by JD Salinger's daughter that I regret reading that screamed for an editor as well as loads more therapy for her. I hope that book bought it for her.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-52695167602281825152015-09-16T13:40:30.842-05:002015-09-16T13:40:30.842-05:00Yes. Thank you for asking. The Circle by Dave Egge...Yes. Thank you for asking. The Circle by Dave Eggers. I was actually angry when I read that book. I wanted to punch him (and all the characters) in the face when I finished it and ask for some remuneration for my wasted time. The plot was so predictable and . the characters were ridiculous and not even remotely fully developed or interesting. The symbolism used was paper thin and so fucking obvious. That dude just phoned it in. So, yeah. I didn't like the book and it may be good that I am not an editor. I would be sued for assault.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336647207100402772noreply@blogger.com
