It’s a question inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/s2jK2DzFrA by u/oh_sneezeus
Is there any book that is considered a classic or regularly shows up on the “100 books to read before you die” lists and such, you had high expectations before reading and then you ended up absolutey detesting?
For me it’s Blindness by José Saramago, it started off good and then page after page it was becoming more unbearable for me to read, I hated the characters, the things they were doing and the conclusions of the book. I was really disappointed because the plot seemed really good and all I ended up with was frustration.
Is there a book that did the same to you?
Yeah, actually, you’re totally right there is nothing good about the Satanic versus I tried to force myself to read it, and it just was absolutely impossible. The biggest problem is the story isn’t told and sequential order and the narration omits to tell you what time peroid. In the first scene the characters are falling out of a plane but in another scene they’re on a plane together so I’m thinking to myself, so this is the same plane that hasn’t yet crashed or has more time passed and they just so happened to be flying together on the same plane? But none of this is ever explained, and scenario after scenario is presented before your eyes, but no plausible plot.
