Well, I’ve read two books lately that began in such an enticing way that I thought l’d hit the fiction jackpot in choosing them. However, sadly as I continued reading them I found myself disappointed..
The first was Our Missing Hearts by Celest Ng which I thought initially could be one of my favorite books ever. As it continued I kept thinking surly there has to be more, and I desperately wanted a resolution to a very thought provoking start.
The book did make me think, and for that I’m glad I read it. I’d be curious to know if any of you have read it, and what you thought about the author’s premise, and if you were satisfied with its conclusion?
The next book was In Five Years by Rebecca Serle. This was a lighter read, but intriguing in its own way. However, once again it took a turn midway that in my mind was basically filler.
So to say the least I was let down by both of them. I’m finding that if you have read hundreds, if not thousands, of books over the years you find yourself craving something new and different.
Couple that with an attention span, ruined by years of i pad use, and it’s difficult to find something that holds your interest all the way through.
Have you read anything lately that you found especially intriguing?
