XX - Who Do You Think You Are? by Alice Munro, 219 pages, Penguin Canada, 1978
WHY I PICKED IT: Recommended by my friend Shelby
ELAPSED TIME: >2 weeks
RATING: Not Good
So I got 139 pages into this book... only because of the respect that I have for Shelby. But I just couldn't bring myself to finish the last 80. The first 1/3 of this book was drawn out and boring, the next third got slightly more interesting, and when the last third looked like it was going to revert, I had to quit.
There are a few good sentences, showing the skill of Alice Munro... But overall, the book reads like the depressing life of the protagonist.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
