Reading for book club—this is a tough read and I do not recommend it for other sensitive readers who empathize with book characters too much. It’s really bleak and depressing and I could have done without the graphic descriptions of various war atrocities between native Americans and colonists. This is probably gonna be a 1 star book for me.

My brain hurts.

“The magnate cleared his throat and chugged some of the lemon tea. After a moment he began to gargle. Yes, gargle. Then he continued his discourse.” I can’t emphasize enough how much this shouldn’t have been a fiction book.

“Water that was as clear as Abe Lincoln’s conscience” with all respect, Robin Sharma has no business writing fiction. I don’t know why my brain won’t let me quit a book. I’m not okay over here.

I cannot with this guy’s writing 🥴

so far this is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. The writing is juvenile, the characters seem completely one dimensional, the dialogue is extremely unrealistic, and the content is sappy motivational quotes. I’m so bored. Going to try to stick it out though.
