DNF- The House of the Scorpion
I just couldn't get into this book so I have decided to set it aside and move on to Gathering Blue which will be my last title for this challenge.
I made a few more comments on this book which you can see here if you are interested.
A friend of mine said a really interesting thing to me the other day, that books have a date on them, that you can try a book time and again, and then pick the book up a fifth time and breeze right through it, wondering 'why on earth did I put this down before?' You just have to wait for the right time..
Im 13 years old and I have to read the book for Launge Arts and Reading and I absoultly love it, but the timing when you read things is very improtant that has happened to me many times before where I have pick up a book agian. But sometimes its just not your read.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I am thinking too. This book got such excellent reviews...it must be poor timing for me.
ReplyDeleteI will give it another shot later, I'm sure.
