bailed#LitsySciFiBookClub
I don't particularly like reality TV shows, so I guess I'm not the right reader for a book about a reality TV show.
I appreciate that this is a critique of the genre, of consumerism, the increasing monetisation of all aspects of life, the intrusion of governments and private companies into personal spaces, and the intensification of the Society of the Spectacle, but 81 pages is enough for me to know I don't need this object ⬇️
bailedContinuing on a bad track of books not for me. I thought this was going to be a thriller/horror but instead it‘s a police procedural with a truly unlikeable protagonist. #hailthebail #dnf
bailedUnfortunately I just couldn‘t get into it. ⭐️

bailedThis just didn‘t hold my attention…
bailedBailing at about 120 pages.... I may return when my mood is lighter but I'm not reading much this week because I don't want to read this right now.

bailedThis is not a bad book, it‘s just the humor is not clicking for me. It doesn‘t help that I have been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl which is infinitely funnier. So #hailthebail
A book off my #roll100 off the #tbr
bailedLook, I‘m not saying it wasn‘t good, I‘m just saying it wasn‘t good for me. I was so bored I started skipping through chapters. Then I thought “if I‘m skipping most of the book, why am I even reading it“. DNF
bailedWell this was a bummer. The first 10% basically made the previous book not matter so bailing on this one. #hailthebail
bailedI like Pargin‘s work. But I think there‘s things he misses about being a woman, and since this book was basically a man and woman in a car together, it comes up. Idk, Trump just won an election and there are guys posting “Your body, my choice” on SM. My patience for a lonely guy‘s pov where he occasionally full on rants about “feminists” is pretty low.
bailedThis is a bail for me, simply because of her voice; I pretty much only do audiobooks, and O'Connor's reading voice is just too much of a grating drone. I'm disappointed, because she's someone I've admired for a long time, and the book deals with key issues re Christianity (I was in university when she tore up the Pope's picture on SNL) and family abuse, mental health/trauma, abuse, and religious conversion.

It's definitely a "me not you" issue, and I wouldn't discourage anyone else from reading this if the concept appeals. I'm sorry that my Bail rating will negatively affect its Litsy approval score ? 7h
