I absolutely loved Frederick Fife and had high hopes for this book. But…. The pacing is slow and I’m not sure I care about the characters. Taking forever to finish…

So, I like this author and the premise. However this sounds like it was written by a high school class and feels a bit schizophrenic…. Disappointing

Ugh. Usually enjoy this author but… I can hardly invest in the writing and especially can’t invest in the character. This may be a dnf….

I can see why people liked it. I however am not enjoying this. It feels slightly torturous….

M Collins is 99% done with Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Wow. Finally a good surprise ending. This is quite a book. Going to have to really think how to rate it. Maybe 4stars because I DID NOT guess the ending. (Thank god!) It ran off the rails of my expectations- so that made it even better! Definitely a dark graphic gory story, but the writing was excellent tho the pacing was just enough to keep me going. Actually, this book made me feel excited to read again.

Why is this on everyone’s top 10 list? Sad that the victims of tragedy aren’t even compelling….

WHAT. IS. THIS……and why is it good! This book is grotesque, fascinating, and beautifully written - Grenouille is subhuman and yet…I can’t look away!

Enjoying this so far. Its pace is a bit slow but the writer wants you to really get to know the characters…so I am warming up slow to it. I do love the cover!

Ugh- usually love this author but I don’t know if I can trudge the rest of the way thru this one. Reads like it’s YA and so much needless pettiness that is dumb and just absolute fodder

M Collins is 65% done with The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
Ugh reading and listening to this one and I can’t seem to get thru it. Is it really horror? Or just horror because it’s about a vampire? It’s reviewed so well but I am having a hard time getting thru it….but I’m not quitter! lol

Really liked this one! A quick read and a nice journey. Well paced and predictable, I enjoyed the characters. Overall a nice book. The beginning with the characters leaving her wedding fitting- in her wedding dress- and driving 9 hours to Sebastopol drew me in. Characters are a little milquetoast, but good.
