You can always write a DNF post about it and describe why you found it a struggle. I'm much happier about my reading since I've given myself permission to abandon books that aren't working for me.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-84953133776709776792009-06-30T02:25:59.471-05:002009-06-30T02:25:59.471-05:00You know, I've been gnawing away at this one f...You know, I've been gnawing away at this one for weeks, and I'm not very far in. Even though I, too, was prepared for what a horrible person the man is, I'm just not getting into it. Mostly, I think, I can't believe that he's done half of what he purports. And I'm finding the voice just a little tedious. Still deciding whether to keep going or not.

I'm probably going to do an "Unfinished Friday" review soon, because I promised Lisa Roe I would but I can't - can't- read another word. Which is not to say I'm going to trash it.

He had an affair with a married woman because he knew she was wealthy, but he spent quite a long time hanging out with her before he finally found out where she kept her cash. Once he discovered that she had a roll of bills in her locked desk drawer, he conned her child into giving him the keys to the desk and stole the money (this would be what he called an opportunity, not a crime). <br /><br />Then, he took her to London and they stayed in a fine hotel, drinking and fooling around till the money was all gone. They pawned her valuables, drank and caroused some more and then ran out of money, again. At that point, he admitted they'd been partying on her money and she became upset. He thought it was unreasonable for her to complain, since she'd been staying in the hotel and drinking, as well. Bob reasoned that she was the one with money, so they might as well have fun on her dime. What a guy, eh?Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90882396640885082732009-06-11T16:50:07.052-05:002009-06-11T16:50:07.052-05:00He sounds like a train wreck.
