It is much worse than you expect. The book was constructed from literary material stolen from a woman writer who submitted her work to literary agents and was rejected. I blog about it on Wordpress.
I am halfway through and it's so painfully boring.. I also chose this based on the rating and at this point in the story I am confused. Hoping it gets better.
Not only boring and bland. I felt like I was reading twitter by the way it is written. I just don't understand the reviews, let alone the award.
Happy to see some of the negative comments. I chose this book because of the high rating and votes but I've read so many other better than this. On the last 80 pages and I'll be glad to get through.
Haig isn't the worst writer (I think) when it comes to prose, but this was just such a bad and boring book. Either be a self-help book, or be a novel, but don't try and be both.
It was EXACTLY the same for me, Sarah! Thankfully my next choice is already available in the library.
