I love dialogue in a book, but this is bloody ridiculous... pages of pure dialogue, just dialogue. No body language, emotion or feeling attached. All leads to Zero connection. Not sure I can finish this one.

I am going to struggle to finish. I am just so bored with it. The characters are not engaging me.

I don't think I will finish this one. It's not appealing to me me at all. I find it difficult to connect to the characters, it's not the writing more so the subject matter.

I love this series, however I can't seem to get into this one. I'm going to leave it and come back to it later. I'm hoping it's just that my timing is off .

I am not a fan of the dialogue in this one. It's very rigid, unemotional and staged. It's forced and almost rehearsed in places. It's spoiling the overall book so far because without a dialogue that fits a character it fails to bring them to life and take me out of the story ..... Damn it

I had a crush on him when I was in first grade—a crush that lasted until I asked Eph if I could be his mom when Ellen died. That didn’t go over well.

I'm listening to the audio bookend am really struggling to get into this one. I'm going to switch to ebook and see if that helps. The. narration is ordinary
