2020 In Literature discussion

Did you have any books you just didn't enjoy? Which books were your least favorite or the hardest to finish?

So far, my least favorite book has been Ida M. Tarbell. I found it slow, not wonderfully written, and quite difficult to get into.

So far, The Scar Boys. I found it kind of predictable and didn't care about the characters the way I thought I would.

Totally agree about Scar Boys. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out like the other Morris finalists.

So far, I'm going to agree with Ida M. Tarbell. Also, I didn't like the actual story of Skink: No Surrender, but I did like the narration.

I have to agree with you, Amy. As much as I love that there are now finally a few middle grade books featuring LGBT+ characters, I didn't like the stereotypes and I really didn't like the Disney/Glee-esque "main character has all the good things happen to him all the time and is totally lucky" thing. I'm all for happy endings, but I like at least slightly realistic happy endings. :)

Least favorite so far has to be Grasshopper Jungle. For me, it started great and then became boring and repetitive.
