by
"It was so boring! It was like reading an instruction manual on whaling. And I didn't understand it. I had to google whether or not the whale died. I couldn't even figure out if the whale died or not! Ug!

War and Peace

"Dreadful! I couldn't even get past the half way point. It was so boring. It consisted of people sitting around talking about war and talking about relationships. I wanted some action. Where was the war? Where was the peace?"

"I didn't get it. There was no character development or any explanation for the background of the story. It seemed to begin in the middle of a story instead of the beginning."
