Mehso-so

#BooktoScreen whoa! That was dark...although you know early on something is not quite right, it took almost 120 pages until the story became interesting. Im not sure the payoff was worth my investment... I really did not care for this book...I'm giving it a so-so only because it's thought provoking & offers loads of moral ambiguity. I'm skipping the movie!

MinDea Ugh. This was going to be my exact review! I am between a pan and so-so. I got this pick as a recommendation from @Jess7, she liked it but also said it evokes a lot of discussion. I would agree that I think we will have a lot of interesting discussions around the book, but yeah agree with your review. Though I do plan to watch the movie for the discussion. Thanks for joining #BookToSceen, I am so sorry you didn't like it 😳 6y
Cinfhen I‘ve been wanting to read this book for awhile, no need to apologize @MinDea I read and really liked (even though it was also dark) another novel by HK 6y
AmyG I didn‘t care for it either. I wish I could remember why. 6y

TrishB I hated it!! I didn‘t want to say until you finished! 6y
Cinfhen Ha @TrishB @AmyG it was really 💩💩💩HK was writing strictly for shock value.... 6y
Skybariline I share your opinion. 6y
[DELETED] 3803335244 I watched the movie & I share your opinion. It was a DNF movie for me. 6y
MinDea Oh no @ForeverNerdy ...I was going to watch it tonight. Ugh. This book! I feel awful having chosen it for #BookToScreen. So many people are disliking it. 😳😳 6y
Cinfhen I think mixed opinions make for a good discussion @MinDea I‘m looking forward to discussing this book 6y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh sorry! It was just not my taste but try it, you never know. 6y
Reviewsbylola I haven‘t been interested in this one at all. 6y
Mdargusch Very dark 6y
Jinjer Loved it!!!! 6y
Cinfhen Yay!! Love to see a different opinion @Jinjer I think @Mdargusch liked it too!?? It didn't bother me that it was so dark @Reviewsbylola it was the self assured FU undertones that bothered me, I felt a dislike for the author himself😜I know...that sounds terrible of me🙈 6y
Mdargusch I read it 4years ago so I just remember how disturbing it was but I did give it 4 stars on GR. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea I don‘t think so!!! 😉 6y
MinDea @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ok. Let me look at it tonight. Good reads is a good place to go. Are you on there? 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea I‘m on there, but not very often... how to I find you? 6y
MinDea @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am honestly sort of bad at keeping anything up to date on a books wanted list as no one has really cared except me 😂😂😂 they're all in my head...so once we can all read each other's minds in 20 years it'll be fine! 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea true!!!! But if someone wants to send you one! You may have it!! Take them off your list 😝😜😛 6y
