Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments sure! I'm reading it with Reddit (bookclub) right now, or going to start it very soon, I'll read it with you, when do you want to start?


message 3: by Ed (new)

Ed (edwarddtaylor) Amazing! I've already started and I'm 87 pages in but I'd love it if we read it together! When are you starting? :)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments I've read the first 7 chapters so far, and wow, is all I must say for now since I don't know where you're at in the book, but very good read for sure, the way it is written took a bit to get used to at first but it's fine now :)

Kristie | 5950 comments I have this on my TBR, but can never seem to get to it. I look forward to seeing what you think of it.


message 12: by Ed (new)

Ed (edwarddtaylor) I'll be honest, I'm halfway through part two and I'm thinking of giving up - it's just not doing it for me! It's a shame because I've wanted to read it for so long!


message 13: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments Hmm, that's too bad, I'll keep going on it, see what happens.... apparently it will be a series on Apple tv in March too

I really liked the first part of this book but I can't say that I liked all of it equally. But don't give up too quickly--this book has a 4.3 average rating on GR and you haven't read long enough to even get to the reason why it's called Pachinko. I gave it 3 stars, which is a like for me (but I loved the first part!)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments nice! good to hear :) yeah, so far I'm enjoying it so I'll keep reading. I'm only maybe 10 chapters in right now...


message 16: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments anyone else still reading? I'm part 3 and it's getting harder to finish, not as exciting as the first part but I want to find out what happens lol.

I liked each section less than the one before it, but others had different experiences.


message 18: by Ed (new)

Ed (edwarddtaylor) Yeah I've totally given up on it now. It's such a shame though because I'd heard such good things about it! I just think there're so many good books out there I wanted to move on and start new things!


message 19: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments yeah me too, giving up, I don't know what all the hype was about.....I may just cheat and read a spoiler review or something. I agree, so many other good books out there


message 20: by Ed (new)

Ed (edwarddtaylor) Haha yes! That's a great idea. I'm not sure if you've read it but I started Malibu Rising yesterday and I'm loving it so far!


message 21: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments Malibu rising is a great book!! I really enjoyed that one.Hope you enjoy too! I am starting the new Louise Penny on a recommendation from a random lady at the library lol, she was super excited about it and highly recommended it. It's called the madness of crowds.


message 22: by Ed (new)

Ed (edwarddtaylor) I'm going back to Pachinko! I've got the audiobook so I'm going to see if listening to it makes it more interesting


message 23: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa12345678) | 189 comments @Ed great!! I hear it's out on Apple plus now? will probs be a good series. how did you enjoy Malibu Rising?


message 24: by Kristie, Moderator (Retired) (new)

Kristie | 5950 comments Good luck, Ed! Let us know how it goes.
