Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.
Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.
What book is a zero star read for you?
The Circle by Dave Eggers.
If you haven’t read it, go to your uncle’s Facebook page, the one who posts all day about how people should go outside and not post on Facebook. You know, the permanent caps lock uncle.
Print a couple hundred pages of his rants, then string them together with a bit of exposition.
Congratulations, you just wrote The Circle.
I listened to the audiobook and thought it was fine. Not great but ok. Sometimes the quality of the audio narration really saves a book.
I read it because it was going to be a movie. Not great I agree.
It was a movie! Starred Emma Thompson. I really liked it, it inspired me to read the book.

I actually really enjoined that one. I’m a big fan of corruption arcs and psychological/cultish stories, but I do agree it was difficult to get through without some serious dedication

I liked the circle enough. So I read the every save questioned how much I changed since reading the circle.
The every is just an old man shaking his fist at the clouds
Couldn’t agree more, The Circle easily was one of THE worst books I’ve ever read.
The human behavior aspect was interesting the whole dozen pages or so. But the book was a struggle to finish.
I know this is totally not the point of the book, but as someone with MS, when they talk about her dad needing copaxone “for the pain” that is not what’s it’s for, and a quick Google search would have told you that, which is ironic for a book about company similar to Google.
Darn. I really enjoyed that book.
I love McSweeneys and I loved AHBOSG but all his other books are so pretentious and boring
