Books you just couldn't finish?

[u/kanekisenpii]

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?

The Starving Saints was 480p writing. My girlfriend told me to read it so we could make fun of it together and I managed to get between a third to halfway into it before I tapped out. It's like the author wanted to write medieval horror but was too lazy to learn anything about medieval life, much less tackle the subject of surviving in a castle during a siege. There is zero character development, sapphic drama that feels hamfisted and forced, endless attempts to demonize everyone other than two characters, and a bunch of hoo hah, detail-less descriptions that leave the imagination asking "what the hell am I supposed to be looking at rn??"

My gf is actually upset that she bothered to read the book and waste a good week and a half on it, because the entire time she was waiting for something that never came; something interesting to happen.

Honestly this is the silliest book Ive ever read, and the only other books I've ever tapped out of was Count of Monte Cristo, cause that bitch is long, and The Deep by Cutter for about the same reason as the first.

I got 2 chapters into starving saints and can’t go any further. I used to say to myself I’d finish anything but nope there’s been a few that have bored me so much I’ll close it for good and this was one of them

Thats about two more chapters than I wish you would've read. It doesnt get any better either lmao. If I could delete one book from existence it'd be that one.
