"The plot is interesting, the characters are interesting, but I'm not sure about the prose. I feel like the author really liked certain scenes or characters more than others, and when he has to write something he doesn't find interesting he just throws in adjectives until he hits his page count.
I'm also a much slower reader since having a baby, so it may be I'm more picky about narration than I used to be." — Jul 21, 2017 12:35PM

“Human beings are the only creatures who are allowed to fail. If an ant fails, it's dead. But we're allowed to learn from our mistakes and from our failures. And that's how I learn, by falling flat on my face and picking myself up and starting all over again.”
