Sadly this book started out strong with the creepy cop and creepy house in the middle of nowhere but then it just went downhill. Another couple along with some other characters gets introduced and the flow of the writing gets confusing. I didn‘t know what or who was going on in parts. I took this book with me on a two week vacation and only picked it up twice. A sign to #hailtothebail

I know this is an #UnpopularOpinion but, I really just can't get this one done. I have been working on it for a while now, I am about 65-70% done, but I just never want to pick it up to finish. It's probably just me.

Oh well.

Ruthiella I‘m curious about this one…wonder where I land. On paper it sounds not for me, but it‘s so popular. 4mo
PuddleJumper I enjoyed it because it was a bit like a d&d story. I wouldn't recommend it to people who like epic fantasy, it's more of a slice of life in a fantasy setting 4mo
TheBookHippie I am not a fan 🤪😅😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo
wildwoodreads I've bought it three times and sold each one on my Pangobooks shop every time because I lose interest in it. 4mo

#unpopularopinion A lot of people seemed to enjoy this book, but I'm bailing after 75 pages, past my usual 50 page make or break point. I don't like any of the characters and it's just not keeping my attention.

JamieArc Perhaps the audio version makes it better. It was excellently done, with a full cast. 7mo
RamsFan1963 @JamieArc I have heard that the audio is very good. Maybe when I finish my current audio book I'll see if it's available on audio at Libby or Spotify. 7mo

I rarely bail on a book but this one - I can‘t even.

ElizaMarie I get it! I didn't love this one, but I did find the movie pretty decent. #HailToTheBail 9mo

#unpopularopinion I've seen a lot of good reviews for this, but I'm finding it boring and I can't get into it. I'll definitely hold on to it, maybe give it a try again at a later date.

I only got 4 chapters into this before I knew it wasn't for me. I don't like casual infidelity, so the lead mc was a turnoff for me from the start. Maybe he got better later, but I didn't find the story interesting enough to carry on.

This book. Well. I usually never DNF anything but this book really was not for me at all. I read 70ish pages and it felt soooo long already. There is no real story, just random weird snippets. Don‘t get me wrong- I LOVE weird random snippets. But this felt so pointless, boring and pretentious. So, I‘ve decided to give up. I have another Robbins book at home and hope that that one will be better.

TheBookgeekFrau This was not his best book at. All. Jitterbug Perfume was my favorite 1y
ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau good to know! I also have a copy of 1y
TheBookgeekFrau @ju.ca.no I liked Still Life with Woodpecker. Highly bizarre and entertaining; but then again, all of his books are bizarre 😂 1y

dabbe I bailed on it, too, for the exact same reasons! #hailtothebail! 🤩🤩🤩 1y
ju.ca.no @dabbe it was a really hars decision for me- I really almost never bail😅 but it just didn‘t feel worth investing anymore time😅😅 1y
ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau I hope I like this one more! 1y
dabbe @ju.ca.no I bail a heck of a lot more than I used to. Time is valuable, and there are too many 5-star books out there still waiting to be read. 🤗 1y
ju.ca.no @dabbe true!! 1y
