Welcome to Litsy!

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 ⬇️

Continuing 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

Well this is a bummer to #dnf, as I really enjoyed his previous books which are somewhat connected to this one. However, a reveal at the 50% mark made me no longer care what happened. Up til then I was quite riveted. Is the second half worth continuing? I‘m guessing no as this book has very little buzz. #hailthebail

This just didn‘t hold my attention…

Bailing 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.

100 pages of this book was enough for me. Long rambling passages about Neanderthal life, interspersed with witty dialogue from Sadie who seems to be in the midst of a long term spy operation. I didn‘t stick around to find out as I have too many other books calling me.

This 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

Look, 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

Well this was a bummer. The first 10% basically made the previous book not matter so bailing on this one. #hailthebail
