Life Expectancy

so-so

When Jimmy is born his grandfather predicts he will have five bad days. And he does - the first 1/3 of the book is about his birth and first bad day. At first it was funny and intense - the interaction between Jimmy, crazy clowns, his family and Lorrie - then it got exhausting and I couldn't wait for the next bad day - very slow moving for me.⬇️

1 book down for #MagnificentMay - thanks for hosting @Andrew65 .
Make a great day everyone 🙂

bthegood (review continued) It was like reading Dean Koontz' take on an episode of Gilmore Girls - just with crazy clowns and circus people thrown in (it was that type of non-stop banter) - so it was funny at times, just too much for me. 😜 (edited) 12mo

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 Shame it didn‘t read a bit better because sounds a good premise. 12mo

I love a reading bingo, so I'm in for the #AlphabeticalBingo thanks for putting it out there @Clwojick - I am not doing a board for each letter of the alphabet though (not organized or disciplined enough for that) - so I'll try a board with each letter and see how long it takes to get a bingo (hope that is okay)-

Make a great day everyone 🙂

ShananigansReads I may be stealing your board and playing your way. 😬😄 12mo

pick

10/10 loved this book. It‘s like the book that keeps on going, I never wanted to put it down. There was never a dull moment in this awesome thriller. I‘m sad to be done with it...all I can say is never trust a clown! 🤡 #litsyrecommends

Johanna414 I remember reading this and loving it years ago. I went through a major Dean Koontz phase! 5y
