I don't know what pains me more, reading this book or having to DNF it. But I told myself this would be the year I'd stop forcing myself to read books I couldn't get into no matter how long I waited to borrow it. Well, I waited over four months for this one and it's taken me a week to read 47 pages. I dunno, I just find the writing smug and pretentious and bogged down in unnecessary details. I realize this is most likely a part of the storytelling, but either way I find it tortuous.
Tatiana said it best when she said she's not into reading about rich white people's problems. I've read plenty of reviews saying this is about unlikable characters, and I'm going to assume it also involves some sort of psychopathy, so I guess it boils down to me NOT being in the mood for that.
