I'm having a hard time with this one. The writing style does not grab me, so I'll put it aside for now.

I am about halfway and so uninterested. I just want straightforward prose that I can sink my teeth into! There are maybe 1 or 2 interesting sentences per chapter and then I feel like Backman gets scared off and has to "lighten up" with a joke to finish the chapter. I hate that!!!! DNF

Not for me

This has a high rating, but I might dnf. Does it get better?

I can tell this won't be a favorite. I don't care about the characters. I'm stopping now because I don't want to read any more.

Stopping when we are supposed to feel sympathy for a person who attempted SA. No point in hate-reading my way through the rest of this mediocre book.
