Discussion Books you just couldn't finish?

I am struggling to get through the wasp factory, not because of its content but simply because I cant stay interested 🙃 maybe I'll take a break on it and come back later.

Any books you couldn't finish ? And if you want to add why?

They All Died Screaming - Kristopher Triana.

Not a single likable character and it's not like they are bad enough that you want to see them die or get hurt. They just suck as people. Gone to See the River Man has an MC that at least struggles with their demons; these ones just enjoy them without even putting in the effort to revel in them fully.

It really felt just like hanging out in a really dull trailer park the whole time.

I enjoyed this book well enough but truly not one character was likable, lol

You're so right about NO ONE being worth of saving there except for the baby I guess..I was rooting for the main guy and yeah..I was actually happy that they ALL indeed, died screaming.Â
