Don’t be intimidated by it based on size! Commit to reading maybe just 100 pages and if you’re not enjoying it there’s nothing wrong with putting it down and choosing something else!
If you enjoy a book, really enjoy it, the length won’t matter as much. I had a really hard time committing to short mediocre books, but find that I’m perfectly fine with a long book as long as I’m enjoying it. Basically my advice is to try and change how you approach it! I just finished “A Little Life” and at first it seemed like a really long book, but I was surprised how much I was enjoying it and it just flew by!
I couldn’t believe how much I loved the characters. Honestly if King had abandoned the fantasy aspect and just wrote a novel about a young boy trying to be a better person because of his alcoholic dad, and his dad’s redemption i would be just as happy.
Definitely a great read!
I give it full credit for sparking my interest in reading!
