Man this book is seriously slow going! Surely it must get amazing soon with all the rave reviews....

Ooft this is a very hard read with a major theme being abuse, but the story itself is so good

Not exactly what I was expecting, thought it'd be more biographical, which I guess it is in parts, but it's written in more of a self help style which I'm not into atm, so I'm not finishing this.

This book has a great rating but I'm really struggling to get into it with the way it's written! Hope it gets better within the next 20 pages or I'm dropping it!

OK I loved this book by page 4 and by page 56 I'm abandoning it! Seemed funny and cool at the start, but then I realised what the plot was going to be and lost interest completely. Moving to DNF.

I'm obsessed with this book! Highly likely due to being obsessed with Broome!

Read the first 3 pages, flicked through the rest of the book and decided it was not for me!

Just about to start this, I hope it's as good as all the others I've read by this author. Just to make things confusing, in Australia this book is called The Forgotten Son which the author says the Publisher just did without her knowledge!

I'm halfway through this audiobook and some of the comments made in the book actually make me think WTF. After reading the other reviews about the tone being condescending which I agree with, and that the entire book is just "eat healthy and exercise", I think I'll move this to DNF.

OK, I'm moving this one to Did Not Finish. I tried and tried due to the awesome ratings but I just could not get into it!

This book is OK so far and I love the author, but it hasn't totally grabbed me and I've totally over committed with library books so I'm going to put it down and hopefully come back to it!

So far this book is a bit cringe....like obviously the guy and girl will end up together... So I'm thinking this means I have to endure hearing about their obvious chemistry for 12 years before they sort their shit out!?

I've listened to almost all of this audiobook but I never really got into it, fell asleep to a lot and I'm giving up on it now.

After about one page I was not enjoying the style of this book. It's got suchhh a good average rating, but life is short, so after not getting into it by about 30 pages I thought I'd abandon it!

I've been peer pressured to read this book. It's about dragons so I'm not feeling excited. So far, OK.

I'm enjoying this book but, man, is it slow going! 2 weeks in and only halfway through! The copy I have has very strange paper and I think it's got a lot more pages than I realised!

Update: listening to this audiobook while trying to fall asleep was giving me some whack dreams, so I'm moving to Did Not Finish!

Full Disclaimer: I'm listening to this as an audiobook I go to sleep to! 32 hours!? Ain't no body got time for that! I'm enjoying getting the gist of the story whilst also falling asleep 🤣

I am loving this book so much! I don't want to put it down and never want it to end!

OK, I bet this book is awesome, but I'm listening to it as an audiobook and it's narrated by Arnie himself and SO hard to understand!

I'm not having the best luck lately, last few books I've picked up I've put down soon after, this is one of them.

I've just read the first two chapters and I'm not going to continue. I'm sick of the characters and horsey theme already!

OK I tried to persist with this book via audiobook but I'm still not into it so moving to Did Not Finish

This was a bit of a struggle as a hard copy, but I'm now picking up where I left it on audiobook.

I only got a few chapters in but unfortunately it hadn't grabbed me so I gave up and returned it to the library.

I'm maybe 6 chapters in to this book and so far I hate every single thing about it. Just read some of the other reviews and have decided to ditch this!

This had done interesting information but I've had enough of it now...

I'm abandoning reading this book now! It was an interesting start but still so dry and I think it'd be better as an audiobook so I'll try and get that instead.

I never want this book to end I love it so much!
